Chicago Bears – The Bears finally got over the Green Bay hump and walked it off with a Caleb Williams dime to D.J. Moore in overtime to capture the NFC North lead.

Green Bay Packers – Jordan Love left with a concussion, and Malik Willis almost got the job done. However, the Bears pulled off a 22-16 overtime victory, and the Packers fell behind in the division and in the playoff race.

Detroit Lions – The Lions had a chance to win the game in the last minute, but a pair of offensive pass interference calls deflated the Lions’ comeback bid. Detroit sits at 8-7 as their playoff path narrows.

Minnesota Vikings – J.J. McCarthy left with a hand injury, and Max Brosmer led Minnesota to a 16-13 victory over the Giants. The Vikings are now 7-8 with a couple of games left in the season.
