Usage

This is a template that was created to easily update every article with the 2005 NFC standings.

The teams should be sorted according to the NFL tiebreaking rules, as indicated by such reliable sources as CBS Sports' playoff picture page (the conference standings page on NFL.com are usually not accurate on this issue because they normally do not sort them by ALL the tiebreaking rules until the end of the season). Because of the complexities of the tiebreaking rules, anything that is not verifiable may be reverted on grounds of original research. The footnotes listing the tiebreakers are currently displayed using the "lower-alpha" predefined footnote group (see WP:EXPLNOTE).

To use the update on any article, insert:

{{2005 NFC standings}}

To highlight the San Francisco 49ers, insert:

{{2005 NFC standings|team=SF}}

The following are the codes for the teams in the NFC:

ARZ - Arizona Cardinals
ATL - Atlanta Falcons
CAR - Carolina Panthers
CHI - Chicago Bears
