The Minnesota Vikings were not the only team in their division to come out with a victory in Week 3 of the 2017 NFL season.

Heading into the 2017 NFL season, the NFC North was predicted by some to be one of the weakest divisions in the league. Now three weeks into the regular season, the NFC North looks like it could be the best division in the NFL this year.

Only the NFC South (a division the Minnesota Vikings are unbeaten against in 2017) has a higher winning percentage than the NFC North this season.

During Week 3, the Vikings were not the only member of their division to pick up a win. Overall the NFC North won three of their four matchups during the week and the team that lost had a chance to get a win during their game’s final seconds.

We know Minnesota won their matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but how did the other three members of their division do in their Week 3 games.
