NFC North: The Division That’s Got It All
This season, the NFC North is proving to be a must-watch division in the NFL. With only three teams playing in Week 7, the drama was still palpable. The Lions and Vikings went head-to-head in an intense matchup, while the Packers held off the Texans with a late field goal.
The Best of the Best
It’s not an overreaction to say that the best four teams in the NFC are in the North. Three of the four five-win teams in the conference call this division home. The question is, which coach will come out on top and potentially win the Coach of the Year award?
Lions Roaring Loud
The Detroit Lions are making a strong case for being the top team in the NFC. Without star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, they still managed to take down the undefeated Vikings. The Lions’ culture, built by Dan Campbell and his staff, is one of resilience and determination. With a strong foundation and a “us-against-the-world” mentality, they’re a force to be reckoned with.
Giants’ Loss, Eagles’ Gain
Saquon Barkley’s departure from the Giants has been a talking point all season. While he had a stellar game against his former team, it’s not necessarily an overreaction to say that the Giants made a mistake letting him go. However, the Eagles are reaping the benefits of having Barkley on their roster, and it’s clear that he’s found a better fit with his new team.
Cooper’s Impact
The Amari Cooper trade is already paying dividends for the Bills. With his first catch being a touchdown, Cooper has brought a new level of excitement to the Buffalo offense. His presence makes the Bills’ passing game a scary proposition for opposing teams.
Saints’ Struggles
The Saints are facing a tough stretch, with five consecutive losses. Coach Dennis Allen’s seat is getting hotter by the day, and it’s not an overreaction to say that he might be the next head coach to lose his job.
Under the Radar
One thing that’s not getting enough attention is the Packers’ defense. With a new coordinator and scheme, they’re finally starting to show signs of improvement. Holding C.J. Stroud to just 86 passing yards is a testament to their growth, and they might just have the defense they need to support their high-powered offense.
As the season progresses, the NFC North will continue to be a division to watch. With talented teams and coaching staffs, the competition will only get fiercer. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell.
