According to Madden NFL 2020. They played out the season and the Cowboys finally get another Super Bowl
Oh and the Packers are again NFCN Division Champs after missing it for a few years with an 8-8 record. It appears there is quite a bit of mediocrity in the NFL

Madden 20 NFL Simulation, Review: Cowboys beat Browns in Super Bowl, tons of cool new features
OFFICIAL 2019 CBS SPORTS MADDEN SIM
As always, we use the team with the lowest Vegas win total as our "control" team to avoid anything weird happening with the sim. Welcome to the party, Miami Dolphins.
And as always, things got a little crazy with the Madden sim. Actually, things got bats--t insane this time around. I've seen Blake Bortles land MVP votes, I've seen the Falcons predicted to make the Super Bowl and actually make the Super Bowl.
But this was the most nuts ending possible. More on that in a second. First some awards and stats from the year, plus standings.
STANDINGS
NFC North
Packers 8-8*
Bears 7-9
Vikings 6-10
Lions 6-10
NFC South
Saints 11-5*
Panthers 9-7
Falcons 7-9
Buccaneers 1-13-2 (!)
NFC East
Cowboys 12-4*
Eagles 11-5*
Giants 9-7
Redskins 8-8
NFC West
Seahawks 10-5-1*
49ers 9-7*
Cardinals 8-8
Rams 8-8
The Rams fell of a cliff and had the same record as the Redskins. As expected. The Giants were GOOD? Eli Manning started all 16 games! The Buccaneers were awful and Bruce Arians got fired after one season. The Packers going 8-8 and hosting a playoff game probably started a very important Twitter debate.
AFC North
Browns 13-3*
Bengals 9-7
Ravens 7-9
Steelers 5-10-1
AFC South
Titans 9-7*
Colts 9-7
Texans 7-8-1
Jaguars 5-10-1
AFC East
Bills 9-7*
Patriots 7-9
Jets 5-11
Dolphins 2-13-1
AFC West
Chargers 12-3-1*
Chiefs 10-6*
Raiders 10-6*
Broncos 3-13
So, yeah, that's insane. Three teams, including the Raiders, made it from the AFC West. The Bills toppled the Patriots for the AFC East (Pete Prisco has predicted it will happen next year but doesn't want to go out on that potentially humiliating limb this season), the Bengals were good and the Steelers were terrible. Adam Gase got canned after a single season when the Jets won five games in a year where the Patriots won seven. Don't miss your windows, kids.
AWARDS
Ezekiel Elliott MVP
Freddie Kitchens COY
Baker Mayfield OPOY
Khalil Mack DPOY
Devin White DROY
Kyler Murray OROY
These actually look totally reasonable outside of Zeke -- although if he goes for 2k+ and Dallas gets the one seed he could absolutely get the award.
RECEIVING YARDS
This was the weirdest thing about the whole sim. The leader in 2019 NFL receiving yards? Dede Westbrook! But even more bizarre than Westbrook's 1,273-yard season for the Jaguars with Nick Foles under center was Terrence Williams (currently unemployed!) leading the NFL with 112 catches and managing 1,181 receiving yards for the Packers. Green Bay randomly signed Williams off the street and he blew up for a monster year. Cole Beasley was top 10 in receiving yards (1,152) and Anthony Miller of the Bears was top five with 1,191.
RUSHING YARDS
As mentioned, Zeke was outstanding. Kareem Hunt was allowed to play the whole season through a snafu and finished second. Saquon and CMC were next followed by Mark Ingram and ... Adrian Peterson!! AP finished with 1,285 yards. Mostly a normal group here.
PASSING YARDS
Foles went nuts for the Jags, finishing with 4,399 yards, a shockingly high number. It would have been mind-blowing if Westbrook hadn't gone bananas. Also, ahead of Foles was a surprising name: Mitchell "MVP" Trubisky, who ended up with 4,410 yards. Pod listeners will know that Ryan Wilson will be sweating that. Lamar Jackson's stats were hilarious. He threw for 4,250 yards and rushed seven times for 29 yards. OK, sure. Josh Allen also had a big season, with 4,326 yards.
