NFC North Week 1 recap: Packers crush Vikings, Bears shock Lions

Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers, Mitch Trubisky leads a comeback and the Vikings might be in big trouble.

It was an NFC North bloodbath in Week 1.

Here is how Week 1 went down and what’s next for each team:

Packers, 1-0

Results: Packers 43, Vikings 34

Aaron Rodgers is back. Did he ever leave? We’ll let you argue that with your friends.

Rodgers tore up Minnesota’s young defensive backs for 364 yards and four touchdowns.

This was a huge win for Green Bay, a team that many predicted to regress in 2020 after finishing 13-3 last season.

Up next: vs. Lions (9/20)

Bears, 1-0

Results: Bears 27, Lions 23

The Bears trailed 23-6 heading into the fourth quarter against Detroit. The last quarterback anyone in the world would want to have in this situation would be Mitch Trubisky, right?

Maybe not.

Trubisky threw three touchdowns in the final quarter to bring the Bears back. By doing so, Trubisky likely held off the START NICK FOLES chants for a few more weeks.

Up next: vs. Giants (9/20)

Lions, 0-1

Results: Lions 23, Bears 27

Right when you think the Lions are good, they start to get all Lions-y.

Even with the Bears coming back in the fourth quarter, the Lions had a chance to win it in the fourth.

D’ANDRE SWIFT JUST CATCH THE BALL!

In his Lions’ debut, Adrian Peterson nearly hit 100 rushing yards, proving that he indeed is not human.

Up next: at Packers (9/20)

Vikings, 0-1

Results: Vikings 34, Packers 43

Boy, oh, boy.

There were positive reports from Minnesota’s young cornerbacks throughout camp, so we all thought that maybe the group would be OK.

Nope. This could be a very, very long season for Mike Zimmer’s defense if Week 1 is any indication.

The good news is that the Vikings will travel to play the Colts in Week 2, a team that just lost to the Jaguars.

But wait . . . The Vikings are listed as underdogs in the game? Uh-oh.

Up next: at Colts (9/20)
