NFC North
Chicago Bears – The Bears blew out the Browns 31-3 to move to 10-4, and took the lead on Green Bay in the division. Chicago’s defense came up with three picks and five sacks to ensure victory.
Detroit Lions – A scoreless third quarter was the issue in the Lions’ 41-34 loss to the Rams. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a massive day with 164 yards and two touchdowns, but Detroit is now on the outside looking in on the playoff picture.
Green Bay Packers – The Packers not only suffered a key loss to the Broncos, but they also suffered a key loss on their roster in Micah Parsons. Green Bay now sits behind the Bears for the division lead. Could the Packers reunite with a former defensive star to help fill the void left by the loss of Parsons?
Minnesota Vikings – J.J. McCarthy started off with a pick on the opening drive, but he settled in and threw two touchdowns in the win against Dallas. Although eliminated from the playoffs, Minnesota is building towards next season, and tonight was a step in the right direction.
