The NFC North is the best division in football as there are so many young and young talented players. The quarterbacks are so young so this division barring injury should be competitive for years to come.
The Minnesota Vikings go from 3 wins last year to 9 and to make things even more fun is the total of 9 in 2 years as I have wrote before is incredible that on Sunday December 23, 2012 the victory total is at 9.
Adrian Peterson is on track to get 2000 yards and still has a chance of Eric Dickerson’s all time record. The lone game is home against Green Bay. What a treat that would be to see AP get the record at home against the disliked Packers?
Blair Walsh is now the NFL record holder with 9 field goals of 50 or more yards. What an accomplishment coming from a player that is drafted in the 6th round.
The Detroit Lions have kicker Jason Hanson who is now the NFL record holder for most consecutive seasons with 21 all with Detroit.
Lion’s wide receiver, Calvin Johnson is now the NFL record holder with most receiving yards in one season breaking Jerry Rice’s record. The amazing thing is he is a little over 100 yards from getting 2000 yards in receiving.
Would that not be incredible to have 2 guys from the same division with one running and one passing?
The Chicago Bears known for their defense have set NFL records this year. The Bear’s Charles Tillman forced 4 fumbles in one game which is most by one player in the NFL since this stat was tracked starting in 1991.
Tillman was also involved in another record. Lance Briggs and Tillman each took an interception back for a touchdown in consecutive weeks. It was the first time in NFL history that teammates have done this is back to back weeks.
The Bears in week 9 set an NFL record with a touchdown pass, touchdown run, interception return and blocked punt return for a touchdown in 1 quarter when they did it against Tennessee.
The Packers won the NFC North in 2012 and I will leave it at that.
This division I believe will be the best division for years to come.
We can finally have a year where the Vikings have a winning record against the other NFL North with a 3-2 record and can make it 4-2 with a victory next week over Green Bay.
Thanks for reading
