It’s still early, but it certainly looks like the NFC North will be a two-team race. With the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings at 0-3, the division could face the Green Bay Packers and the surging Detroit Lions.
Week 4 will give fans an early opportunity to see which team comes out on top. After looking hopeless for three quarters on Sunday, Jordan Love and the Packers staged a miraculous comeback against the New Orleans Saints. In his first season as the team’s undisputed starter, Love threw 7 touchdowns against 1 interception.
The Lions didn’t make it nearly as dramatic in Week 3. The team held the Atlanta Falcons to two field goals and easily won the contest 20-6. It was a welcome change for the Lions, who have relied primarily on their potent offense to overwhelm their opponents.
It could be difficult to score points in Week 4 against the Packers’ strong front. Can the Lions do enough to take control of the NFC North? Or will Love and the Packers pull off another late comeback win?
