NFL Standings 2021: Conference and division leaders after Week 3

After three weeks of the 2021 season, NFL teams are starting to separate themselves from their divisional rivals in the race for the playoffs.

In the AFC, the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos have jumped out to a fast start, leaving the conference champion Kansas City Chiefs rock bottom in the West. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals are the shock leaders in the North, although only one win divides top and bottom.

Over in the NFC, there are three NFL teams with perfect records. The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals are duking it out in the West, while the Carolina Panthers are a step ahead of defending Super Bowl champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in the South.

With seven NFL franchises from each conference advancing to the playoffs in 2021, almost every team is in the mix for a postseason place. However, those teams starting 0-3 need to start winning fast if they are going to achieve anything in the 2021 NFL season.
