It wasn't a great year in the NFC North. The Vikings rode a lucky streak to the playoffs and then lost to Daniel Jones, the Bears were the Bears, and the Lions were great for just about exactly half the season, We don't need to talk about the Packers. Let's review how we got here.
Minnesota Vikings
- The Vikings were bottom 10 in DVOA, had a bottom 10 defense, and Kirk Cousins at QB. It was by the grace of the football gods that they even managed to finish the season above 500, much less as a playoff team.
