The North had a relatively quiet week with two teams on bye and the Lions shutting down a reeling Saints team. That is, until Jordan Love and the Packers became the talk of the NFL world on Sunday night. The Packers capped off an undefeated week for the NFC North and firmly entered the NFC Wild Card race, now sitting as the 7th overall seed. The Lions, while still a bit disjointed, looked more like themselves against the Saints, jumping out to a 21-0 lead and holding on for the victory. They remain in the driver’s seat of the division, with the Packers still in the rearview mirror, but very far behind.
