Why Packers victory over Texans doesn't prove they are true Super Bowl contenders

The Green Bay Packers got a huge win in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. That's not overplaying just how important of a victory it was, either. Green Bay, now 5-2, is in the midst of a heated NFC North race and looking up at the 5-1 Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings.

Right now, the NFC North is the best division in football, meaning even a winning record won't guarantee the playoffs in 2024. The Packers still have a ton of football left this season, but keeping pace with the Vikings and Lions is extremely important for this young team.
