NFC North Week 17 power rankings: Packers make late surge

The Packers are making a late push for the playoffs and are rising in this week’s NFC North power rankings.

There are just two games left in the 2022 NFL season and while the NFC North division has already been wrapped up by the Minnesota Vikings, two other teams are keeping things interesting down the stretch. The Detroit Lions have been part of the playoff conversation for the last few weeks, but now the Green Bay Packers are making an improbable run as well.

With the entire division playing each other over the final two weeks, things are about to get interesting for three of the four teams. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bears, the only race they’re in is the one for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Here are the power rankings for the NFC North division heading into Week 17.

NFC North Week 13 power rankings: The division remains status quo

Another week of games, another week where the Vikings sit atop our NFC North power rankings.

Another week is in the books for the NFC North and like many times before, the only victor in the division was the Minnesota Vikings. The Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears all lost at different points throughout Week 13, meaning the Vikings are on the doorstep of clinching the division.

The standings didn’t change this week and neither did the power rankings. But let’s still see where each team is at entering the final full month of the regular season.

NFC North Week 12 power rankings: Lions are on the way up

The Lions were the only winners in the NFC North last weekend, and they’re climbing up the power rankings.

Try not to panic, but we’re entering the final third of the 2022 NFL season. For the first two thirds of the year, the Minnesota Vikings have run the NFC North division and despite them faltering in Week 11, that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. What could be changing, however, is the sudden emergence of the Detroit Lions.

The Lions were the only team in the division to get a victory last week when they took down the rested New York Giants. The Vikings, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears all fell, giving the Lions lone possession of second place in the division. Will the power rankings reflect their place in the standings? Here’s how we’re ranking the division heading into Week 12.
