NFC North Report: Bears hold on, Lions’ comeback falls short in Week 2
By Adam Patrick
Aside from the matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers, how did the other two teams from the NFC North perform in Week 2?
On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers put on quite the show at Lambeau Field. Unfortunately, the game resulted in a tie and both teams will have to wait until Week 12 before they meet again this season.
By the time their next matchup goes down though, both the Vikings and the Packers could be in the hunt for this year’s NFC North title.
From what both teams have shown so far this season, the result of that Week 12 game on Sunday Night Football inside U.S. Bank Stadium could also end up being very vital for the success of each franchise in 2018.
Minnesota and Green Bay may not be the only teams fighting for the NFC North crown by Week 12 either.
Due to it being so early in the season, the Chicago Bears could possibly find a way to put a string of wins together and win their first division title since 2010. Even the Detroit Lions still have a sliver of a chance at finishing first in the NFC North this year. Anything is possible (just ask Kevin Garnett).
So we already know that the Vikings and Packers played to a tie on Sunday. But how did the Bears and Lions do during their second matchups of the 2018 season?
