The Patriots get the Dolphins and Jets twice each

crown em

Not taking away from Brady and Belichick but they have always been part of a cupcake division.

And the saints get the bucs and panthers. Good lord.

Both of those teams have been to or won a superbowl in this millennium

Tannehill for a bit maybe

There should be a 30 for 30 on how bad the division has been for 20 years.

The Jets were actually a decent franchise in the 2000s. From 2001-2010, they won six NFL playoff games. Only the Pats, Steelers, Colts, Eagles, and Packers won more playoff games over that time period. The other two franchises have been consistently bad though, I'll give you that.

Has there been a better qb in that division than the sanchise during bradys run? Maybe Pennington?
