I know, I know. We should probably wait for the Detroit Lions to beat a few more playoff-caliber teams before talking about winning the NFC North. There’s a lot of football left to be played and a lot of things can factor into the final season standings, but the door to the division was busted wide opened Sunday when Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone.
Nobody wants it to be this way. You want to get every team’s best shot and come out victorious. The Lions went toe to toe with last year’s NFC champion Atlanta Falcons and almost pulled out the win.
