NFC NORTH: Week 1 recap

Here's a look back at what happened Week 1 in the NFC North:

MINNESOTA (1-0)

Last game: Minnesota 25, Tennessee 16

Next game: vs. Green Bay (1-0)

Week 1 takeaway: Mike Zimmer’s deep and talented defense has a chance to be scary good this season, if they stay healthy. That unit scored two defensive touchdowns in a game for the first time since 2007. They allowed Tennessee to gain only 122 yards in the second half, 59 of which came on a late game scoring drive after the outcome was already determined.
