The NFC North is looking like the NFL's most formidable division, and the Lions did themselves a major favor Sunday by beating the Vikings.

Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay and Chicago appear to be playing in the best division in the league. Plus, Kansas City enjoys a two-game lead for the top seed in the AFC.

The NFC North is the best (and tightest) race in the NFL, Giants fans got a bitter taste of Saquon Barkley on Sunday, and did the Jacksonville Jaguars maybe, sort of, get back on track with a convincing win over the New England Patriots in London?

Six weeks into the 2024 NFL season, it seems rather clear that the NFC North is the best division in football. Each of the division's four teams is above .500: the Minnesota Vikings are 5-0, the Detroit Lions are 4-1 and the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are each 4-2.

Per the NFL, the NFC North is the first division with all teams at four or more wins through six weeks since the adoption of the current format in 2002. The Vikings, who were off this week, are 5-0. The Lions are 4-1, the Packers are 4-2, and the Bears are 4-2.

The Detroit Lions (4-1) are looking to take down the undefeated Minnesota Vikings (5-0) in a matchup of two of the top teams in the NFL.

Forget about the AFC North. The Vikings, Lions, Packers and Bears have combined to make it clear which is the NFL's best division in 2024.

The NFC North is far and away the best division in the NFL. Not only is it the only division since realignment to have all four teams win four games by Week Six, but the four NFC North teams are the Top 4 teams in the NFL in point differential.

Sunday also includes the debuts of Amari Cooper and Davante Adams with their new teams and Russell Wilson at QB for Pittsburgh.

The Cincinnati Bengals are quietly just one game under .500 after beating the Giants and Browns on the road in back-to-back weeks. They have won three of their last four as Joe Burrow finally seems to be getting some help from his defense.
