NFC North standings after Week 8

Packers, 7-1

The Packers snuck by the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, 31-24. Green Bay is on an absolute roll right now, and what’s more impressive is that the Packers are doing it without Pro Bowl receiver Davante Adams.

It feels like there’s a pretty good chance Green Bay continues this next week when the Packers travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers.

Vikings, 6-2

The Vikings have now won four-straight games after starting the season 2-2. Thursday night’s win over the Redskins was an ugly one, but that’s kind of how Thursday night games go.

Minnesota travels to play a Chiefs squad that will likely be without Patrick Mahomes. The Vikings, on the other hand, will likely have wide receiver Adam Thielen back.

Lions, 3-3-1

The Lions snapped a three-game losing streak against the Giants in Detroit on Sunday. Are the Lions good? I can’t tell. They almost beat the Chiefs (with Mahomes), Packers and Vikings.

They also tied the Cardinals and almost lost to the Giants

WHO IS THIS TEAM?

Detroit travels to play the Raiders in Week 9.

Bear, 3-4

The Bears have now dropped three-straight games after missing what would have been a game-winning field goal against the Chargers in a 17-16 loss in Week 8.

Chicago is now in last place in the NFC North. Things don’t get easier as the Bears travel to play the Eagles in Week 9.
