It’s easily the best division in football.
Six weeks into the NFL season, there’s no doubt about the best division in the league. In fact, the NFC North has been better to this point in the season than any division in the past two decades.
As impressive as that stat is, it might not be the most compelling illustration of how strong the division has been. NFC North teams haven’t just been winning games—they’ve been winning them convincingly. The top four teams in the NFL in point differential are all NFC North teams: the Vikings , Lions , Bears and Packers . No other division has more than one team ranked in the top 10 in point differential.
The most dominant performance this season by an NFC North team came on Sunday when the Lions smacked the Dallas Cowboys, 47–9. It was the Cowboys’ worst home loss, three months before Jerry Jones bought the team. Detroit had its way on offense, scoring on its first nine possessions of the game , and bottled up the Cowboys defensively, allowing just 3.9 yards per play.
The Packers also have a big game looming next weekend: a home date with the 5–1 Houston Texans. Green Bay has lost two games this season: the season-opener in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles when quarterback Jordan Love hurt his ankle and a tight one against the Vikings. But the Packers’ four wins have come against teams with a combined record of 7–15. A win against Houston would say a lot about how seriously to take the Packers.
