We can all agree that ESPN.com’s power rankings can be a bit quirky at times. From an NFC North perspective, Week 9 is one of those times.
Green Bay moved up one spot after its home loss to Minnesota and still remains five spots ahead of the Bears, who won at home against Cleveland. Such is life. At least it means left the NFC North (15.6) with the third-best average ranking among the eight divisions, trailing only the AFC North (13.4) and NFC East (14.2).
Here is how it broke down this week:
3. Minnesota Vikings
Trending: Up one from last week.
12. Green Bay Packers
Trending: Up one from last week
17. Chicago Bears
Trending: Up one from last week
29. Detroit Lions
Trending: Down three from last week
