Doubters beware.
The NFC South was picked to be one of the NFL’s worst divisions in 2023, but things definitely aren’t shaking out that way. The division once again won every game it played or lost to itself, and now there are three teams that stand at 2-0 — the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Green Bay Packers, the New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Chicago Bears.
Here is what the NFC South looks like as it stands:
| Team | W | L | T | Win% | PF | PA | Home | Away | Strk |
| Atlanta Falcons | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1.000 | 49 | 34 | 2-0 | 0-0 | W2 |
| New Orleans Saints | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1.000 | 36 | 32 | 1-0 | 1-0 | W2 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1.000 | 47 | 34 | 1-0 | 1-0 | W2 |
| Carolina Panthers | 0 | 2 | 0 | .000 | 27 | 44 | 0-1 | 0-1 | L2 |
