Counted by WHYNFL from the final score of every 2022 regular-season and playoff game. Order within a division is win percentage, then point differential; the NFL's full tiebreaker procedure is not applied, so tied clubs may appear in a different order from the official standings. Playoff results come from the postseason games themselves.
