The 2024 NFL season is 10 weeks away and only one undefeated team remains: the Kansas City Chiefs. There are also some surprise division leaders, including the Arizona Cardinals (NFC West) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC North). Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills could have won the AFC East before December 1.

The conference standings didn’t change much this week, but they will obviously change quite a bit during the second half of the season. Below is a breakdown of the conference standings after Week 10:
