But they play in the NFC East! Can't get much further west than Washington state...

Oh, this is probably where the idea of eastern Washington came from, lol.

Even the eastern part of Washington is farther west than all but 7 states, though. It's certainly nowhere near New York or Philadelphia. (Granted, Dallas is also in that division, which has always been WTF from a geography perspective.)

There were some weirder ones before the last expansion+realignment back in 2002. Arizona was in the NFC East back then, I believe.


Yep, becausd the moved from St. Louis.

Then the Rams moved to St. Louis and ended up in the west anyway lol


Back then, the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers were in the NFC West.

The expansion/4-division-per-conference realignment was the best thing to happen to the NFL. Before that, there were some strange bedfellows in divisions...

AFC East - Buffalo, Miami, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts (Formerly Baltimore).

AFC Central - Cleveland/Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Houston/Tennessee, Cleveland

AFC West - Seattle, Denver, Oakland/Los Angeles, San Diego, Kansas City

NFC East - Dallas, St. Louis/Arizona, Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York Giants

NFC Central - Tampa Bay, Chicago, Minnesota, Detroit, Green Bay

NFC West - Los Angeles/St. Louis, New Orleans, Carolina, Atlanta, San Francisco.
