It was a run-of-the-mill week in the North. The Vikings were embarrassing. The Bears got a lucky last-minute one-score win. And the Lions took the Giants to OT. Wait, the Giants are bad? Hmm.

The Packers handled the Vikings, 23-6.
Game Notes
- Let's start with the Vikings' take-down. We've been talking since the off-season about the monumental decision the team made to drop Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones and go with second-year QB JJ McCarthy. At the beginning of the off-season, it seemed like it could work out. After all, McCarthy was a first-round pick, and Darnold fell apart at the end of the season, and Daniel Jones had never been good.
