NFC South
The NFC South is one of the four divisions of the National Football Conference (NFC). Along with the American Football Conference (AFC), the NFC is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL). These two conferences are divided into four divisions each, geographically according to the four cardinal points. The NFC and AFC are not divided according to geographic location. The New York Giants play in the NFC and the New York Jets , which even use the same home stadium as the Giants, play in the AFC. The Carolina Panthers , New Orleans Saints , Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons play in NFC South . The NFC South was re-established with the restructuring of the NFL in 2002. Since then it has been the only division whose four teams have all played at least once in a conference championship game ( NFC Championship Game or AFC Championship Game ).
