Week 9 NFC North power rankings: Vikings keep pulling away

It’s still too early to call, but the NFC North looks like a one-team race after eight weeks of the 2022 season.

It’s been a rough season for the majority of the NFC North and Week 8 was much of the same. All but one team in the division lost their matchup on Sunday and the lone victor just happened to be the division leaders.

The Minnesota Vikings continued to pull away in the standings and in the power rankings, defeating the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and Detroit Lions all dropped their games to stay stuck in their respective places.

It’s clearly a one-team race now, with the Vikings on top, but here’s how the rest of the division looks in this week’s power rankings.
