1. Detroit Lions: 7-4
2. Minnesota Vikings: 6-5
3. Green Bay Packers: 5-6
4. Chicago Bears: 2-9
Every team in the North except the Bears - who now have 16 players on injured reserve with Jay Cutler sidelined for the rest of the season - has something to play for with postseason perspective.
The epic Turkey Bowl clash between the Lions and Vikings now has Detroit poised for it’s first division title in 23 years. Detroit’s 16-13 victory is incredibly significant. Not since the halcyon days of the early 90’s, with former head coach Wayne Fontes, Erik Kramer, and Barry Sanders have the Lions ever been sitting so pretty this late in a season.
