With just two weeks now until the game releases, EA Sports has unveiled their evaluation of how teams stack up when considering the totality of the rosters for Madden NFL 16. Earlier we took at look at the rankings in the AFC and now attention turns to the NFC.
Unlike the AFC, which was topped by last year's six playoff teams, the NFC has a new team in the mix with the Eagles, who have knocked the Panthers out from holding a place within that group. The NFC South is the only division in the league that is led by a team with a rating lower than 84, with Carolina only being an 80.
These team ratings do not take into account injuries or suspensions.
