A dismal showing on the road resulted in four losses for the NFC North last weekend, including for the Green Bay Packers in a 26-11 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers. With a 7-2 start, the Packers might get a pass for a game in which the offense struggled to wake up and the defense had trouble shortening drives. Fortunately for Green Bay, the team did not lose ground in the divisional standings.
A pair of last-second losses for Detroit and Minnesota helped the Packers stay at the top, while Chicago lost its re-match with Philadelphia after the heartbreaking playoff loss a season ago.
