Nfc North Standings Week 9 2024

The NFC North has emerged as one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL this season, with all four teams currently boasting records above .500, a rare feat in the league.

As of Week 9, the Detroit Lions lead the division with a 7-1 record. They have maintained their top spot after a 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers, securing the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers are closely behind, holding a 6-2 record and sitting in second place in the NFC North. Despite their recent loss to the Lions, they remain a strong contender for the division title and a playoff spot.

The Minnesota Vikings, who started the season with a 5-0 record, have dropped to third place in the division with a 5-2 record. They are looking to rebound from a two-game losing streak and stay competitive in the playoff race by beating the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.

The Chicago Bears round out the division with a 4-3 record. Although they are the only team in the NFC North not currently in a playoff position, they are just one game out of the seventh seed and still have strong wild-card aspirations. The Bears have yet to play a division game and face a challenging schedule ahead, including multiple games against NFC North and NFC West teams.

The NFC North’s collective performance is notable, with the division’s teams combining for a 21-8 record, a winning percentage of .724. This dominance is partly due to their strong home records and favorable matchups against the AFC South and NFC West.
