The NFC North was the best division in the NFL during the 2024 season. While it included the 5-12 Chicago Bears, the three other teams all made the playoffs with double-digit wins. Although none of them won a single postseason game, the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers had regular seasons to be proud of.
Coming into 2025, however, the situation is different for everyone. The Bears may not be a great team in Year 1 under new head coach Ben Johnson, but they certainly have the makings of a team that improves its record from the year before.
