In context
Billand then you have Green Bay who got lit up by Carson Wentz and themselves on Sunday. I don't know what to make of them. Who knows what they're going to do with the Jets. And then you have Minnesota who's just doing, they're just going to blitz the living hell out of everybody and some teams will be able to handle it.
BillSome teams won't. I can't tell who the best NFC North team is, is my point. My instinct is maybe Chicago's offense is better than anybody else's anything in that division.
BillBut for the most part, could 9 -8 win the NFC North?
BillI don't think so. 10 -7?
BillWhat's the floor for first -place wins in this division?
PelisseroThey're going to beat each other up. There's no doubt about it. But the Vikings have a case. The best, most intriguing matchup in terms of X's and O's this week is Ben Johnson versus Brian Flores at Soldier Field.
PelisseroThat's fun. like this flow keep just blitzing the hell out of him. Does he all of a sudden just play coverage for the day? And you know, what's the back and forth like there green Bay is waiting for Michael Parsons to get back. If you go back to like this string of everyone keeps saying the string of losses, it's literally since the game where Micah tore his ACL in Denver.
