NFC North Rundown, Week 8: Packers & Vikings pulling away from the pack

A seesaw affair saw the Green Bay Packers (7-1) finish on top Sunday night, knocking off the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-24. With the win, Green Bay continues to top the NFC North standings and remains in the hunt for the conference’s top playoff seed as the season reaches the midway point.

The Packers’ main competitor may just be the Minnesota Vikings, who rolled to another victory of their own in week 8. Behind another solid rushing performance from Dalvin Cook, Minnesota maintained its pace for a divisional title of its own while Detroit also pulled closer with a win.
