NFC North
Chicago Bears – For a minute, it looked like the Bears were going to choke a big fourth-quarter lead, but Colston Loveland absorbed a big hit in the middle of the field and took it 58 yards to the house for a game-winning touchdown. Chicago now sits at 5-3.
Minnesota Vikings – J.J. McCarthy returned from his ankle injury and scored three total touchdowns in a big road win in Detroit. The Vikings now sit at 4-4 with the division up for grabs still.
Detroit Lions – A David Montgomery fumble seemed like the difference in this game as the Lions fell 27-24 to Minnesota. The NFC North is full of good teams and great talent. These division games are must must-watch.
Green Bay Packers – The Packers drop one they will definitely want back on a Carolina last-second field goal. Jordan Love made some questionable plays, including a bad interception that stifled Green Bay’s chances of taking a strong lead in the NFC North.
NFC South
New Orleans Saints – The Tyler Shough era was ushered in, and he was welcomed to the NFL with a 34-10 loss to the Rams. Shough threw for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He will be a work in progress the rest of the season.
Atlanta Falcons – Drake London had himself a day with over 100 yards receiving and three touchdowns, but no one else could get it going, including Bijan Robinson, who was held under 100 total yards on the day. The 3-5 Falcons will head to Berlin to play the Colts next week.
Carolina Panthers – The Panthers grabbed an upset win over the Packers on a last-second field goal to move to 5-4 and capture a winning record at least for a week. Rico Dowdle was given 25 carries to Chuba Hubbard’s five carries for those wondering about who the RB1 in Carolina is.
