The NFC North is starting to come down to a two-team race, but it’s never wise to count out the Green Bay Packers with a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center.
The Bears remain just a tie ahead of the Minnesota Vikings for first place at 5-3 after their 41-9 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The Vikings got back on track with a win over the Detroit Lions to move to 5-3-1, but Minnesota enters a bye for Week 10 that could allow Chicago to extend their lead with another win on Sunday.
The Packers lost their second-straight game against a top-shelf opponent, dropping back-to-back matchups against the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots to fall to 3-4-1.
