NFL standings, Week 12: Where things stand in each division as we move toward Week 13

The NFL closes out November with its Week 12 schedule, and we've got a healthy mix of tight divisions and clear domination. The Vikings look like they will cruise to the NFC North title, the Chiefs are rolling to yet another AFC West title, and the Titans are dominating the AFC South.

On the other side of things, the Bucs, 49ers, Ravens, and Bills are all a game less up in their respective divisions. Meanwhile, the Eagles aren't quite dominating like Minnesota, Kansas City, or Tennessee, but with a 1.5 game lead on the Cowboys, they're in a strong position.

Below are the eight divisional standings, along with some quick thoughts about each division after 12 weeks of football. We'll update through the rest of the day and as the NFL moves toward Week 13.
