The Green Bay Packers are last in the NFC North. That is true. But they are in the only division in the NFC where all the teams are over .500 and they still hold a playoff spot despite losing to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The Minnesota Vikings are the lone undefeated team in the NFC following the loss by the San Francisco 49ers. The Chicago Bears won on Thursday. And you already know about the Detroit Lions beating the Packers. So the NFC North had a great week outside of one team, and all of them
are in a playoff spot heading into Week 8.
If the Seattle Seahawks win on Sunday night, they will be 4-3 just like Green Bay, but the Packers are 3-3 in the NFC while the Seahawks are 1-2. Green Bay will have the tiebreaker no matte what.
