The Green Bay Packers are expected to be the front runners once again for the NFC North title in 2021. After a tumultuous offseason, they are bringing back MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers for at least one more season. Green Bay has also made major efforts towards improving their defense by hiring a new defensive coordinator in Joe Berry and drafting cornerback Eric Stokes in the first round.
While the Packers are the cream of the crop right now, the Vikings look like a solid second. Similarly to what’s going on in Green Bay, Minnesota’s front office has spent most of the summer revamping a defense that ranked 28th in points allowed during the 2020 campaign.
