In the past it, was due to viewership and TV ratings. It's hard to state that this year when the ratings are off by 20% or more.
But I do agree that from a League standpoint, the league is better off when it's large market share teams like the Giants, Eagles, Redskins, 49ers, Raiders, Cowboys, Bears, Packers and now, the LA Rams, are winning, if not elite, teams.
I actually prefer the years when the AFC West isn't a cakewalk like it's been in years past. More competitive teams makes for better games and more of an even playing field in the division.
Denver's pretty much had a cakewalk through the AFC West the past few years but as we've seen already in 2016, their road is much tougher due to the fact that the Raiders, Chargers and Chiefs are fielding much better teams overall.
