Checking in on the NFC North: Week 5

We’re almost a third of the way through the 17-game NFL season, and now would be a good time for our first check in on how things are going around the NFC North, especially with the Vikings coming up against their first divisional opponent.

We’ll list the teams in the order of where the standings say they are, starting with the Detroit Lions.

1. Detroit Lions (4-1) - Division record: 1-0 (Win @ Green Bay)

I said it before the season: This is a scary football team. My pre-season pick to take the North looks well on track taking the crown four games in.
