(CBS Minnesota) — The NFC North remains a three-team race, believe it or not. The Minnesota Vikings sit one game behind the Green Bay Packers, who lead the division, and two games ahead of the Chicago Bears, who are still mathematically alive. The Packers and the Bears play each other in Week 15. The Vikings will then play the former in Week 16 and the latter in Week 17. The division can’t be clinched Sunday.
By the time the Vikings play the Chargers in Los Angeles, the terrain in the NFC North may have already shifted.
