The NFC North is undoubtedly the best division in the NFL in 2024. The division’s combined record is 33-14 heading into Sunday, Week 13, when the Vikings look to keep up with the Lions, who lead the pack.
Without a win on Sunday against the Cardinals, the Vikings will likely lose any chance to win the division.
The Lions are at a near-perfect record of 11-1 after beating a gritty Bears team that forgot to call a timeout to take a chance to tie the game on Thanksgiving. That mishap by Matt Eberflus led to his being fired on Friday morning.
Thanksgivings also saw the Green Bay Packers defeat the Miami Dolphins who had built steam in recent weeks. The only team left to play within the NFC North is the Vikings, who have a stiff test ahead of them.
As we mentioned, the Vikings, with a win, stay in the race for the NFC North, but a loss relegates them to a tie with the Green Bay Packers in terms of record. With one win over Green Bay this year, they would own the tiebreaker to remain in second place in the NFC North.
Things are heating up in the NFC North as we head into December.
