2023 NFC North Outlook: Lions, Packers, Bears Face Off
Transcript
00:00Now, one of the more competitive divisions at least expected to be going into the year
00:07is this three-team battle in the NFC North between the Lions, the Packers, and the Bears.
00:12I think it's fair to say the Vikings are another one of these teams in a sort of rebuild pseudo
00:17year with some talent, but not enough.
00:19You like any of those teams in particular?
00:21Yeah, I think you have to circle the Bears there.
00:24I mean, the Vikings now, I would have actually liked them a little bit more if JJ McCarthy
00:28was available, but I can't go with the Sam Darnall-led team to think about them as a
00:33division favorite here.
00:34But Caleb Williams-led team, you can definitely see that.
00:36I mean, there's so much, again, new system, new franchise quarterback, plenty of weapons
00:42there.
00:43De'Andre Swift and Keenan Allen were the main additions here that are going to help that
00:47as well as Roma Dinsey.
00:48So, a lot of weapons, good young-looking quarterback right now, a defense that will get better.
00:54We saw it with Monta Sweat and his effect last year under Matt Eberflew.
00:58So, this is a team on the uptick.
01:00The Packers have a hard schedule, so I think that would create the opening where the Lions
01:04are there, but the Bears might replace the Packers as a surprise team pushing the Lions
01:09here in this division.
