Week 14 is here, and the Chicago Bears are sitting atop the NFC. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are within striking distance with a showdown between the two at Lambeau Field looming. Elsewhere, the Detroit Lions are trying to right the ship, and the Minnesota Vikings look like a sinking ship.
Here’s a look at the week that was in the NFC North.

While a few days ago Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said there were only a few plays against the Green Bay Packers in which they should have generated pressure and didn’t, defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard was singing a much different tune during his Monday morning press conference. “I don’t think we’ve affected the quarterback to […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams, who began his NFL career as part of the franchise’s massive safety overhaul, and has become an […]
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been nominated for the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week after their big win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. It was one of the team’s best wins of the season and the Packers swept the Lions for the first time since 2020. Jordan Love had […]
It feels wonderful to wake up, flip the calendar to December, and not feel a sense of existential dread. I’m chalking these feelings up to the three years of work I’ve put in with my therapist. Sharing these thoughts in this space is therapeutic in its own way. With that being said, let’s pivot to some Bears talk.
This feels good to see on a Monday morning:

There has been plenty of consternation and frustration about how Matt LaFleur has managed the Green Bay Packers’ offense this season, but the hand-wringing can be put to rest for a week. LaFleur, Jordan Love, and company put together a tremendous performance on Thanksgiving Day in a 31-24 defeat of the Lions, and if this […]
The NFL’s oldest rivalry is renewed for Week 14 as the (9-3) Chicago Bears head north to take on the (8-3-1) Green Bay Packers in their first of two meetings over the next three weeks. This game doesn’t need any extra hype, but the Bears are currently the NFC’s number one seed, and the winner […]
What a rollercoaster of a season it has been for the Green Bay Packers. After starting 2-0 against two 2024 playoff teams, the Packers were on top of the world. After Week 10, though, when Green Bay lost back-to-back games while scoring just 20 combined points, there were real questions about whether the team would […]
Actually, go ahead and look!
The Chicago Bears will enter their Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers holding the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs:

A rare Bearsless Sunday is here for us. I suppose plenty of Bears fans in the Chicagoland area will spend a chunk of their day clearing snow from their sidewalks, steps, and elsewhere. But what are you going to do for the rest of the day? Let’s discuss…

Hi everybody! You may have seen this reel by Amik Robertson after the Green Bay Packers’ second easy victory of the season over the Detroit Lions. It reminds me of something you occasionally see fans do when their team is an underdog, and leading against a favorite: Chanting “Overrated!” It’s a terrible troll in that […]
From the initial eye-test, it certainly seemed like the Detroit Lions didn’t generate enough pressure on Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love on Thanksgiving. Per NFL Pro, Love had an average of 3.09 seconds to throw—the third-most time he’s had all season. Love used that time to dice up the Lions’ defense for completions on […]

This loss epitomized the Chiefs’ entire season: The team […]
The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions. That didn’t change their NFC playoff picture placement at all and they remain in sixth, but they could have moved up with a Chicago Bears loss on Friday. Instead, the Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago is back in first place. The Eagles […]
The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that the team has re-signed kicker Lucas Havrisik to the team’s practice squad. The Packers waived Havrisik earlier this week to make room for bringing up receiver Will Sheppard to the 53-man roster ahead of the Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving. Sheppard never played an offensive or special […]
If you look at the overall Team Stats for this game at Pro Football Reference, it tells an accurate story of this being an extremely close game. The difference? The Green Bay Packers were 3-for-3 when going for it on 4th down, while the Detroit Lions were 0-2. Today, we’re just going to take a […]
Green Bay Packers fans would love nothing more on this Black Friday afternoon than to see their oldest rivals lose a big game. With the Packers set to host the Chicago Bears next Sunday in Week 14, a Bears loss today would set up a massive contest next week that would surely help define the […]
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has had some really good games over his up-and-down three-year NFL career. However, Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions looked like his most complete performance as a pro, and signaled that he could become a true star at the position if he can build on that kind of […]
Another year, another Thanksgiving Day win for quarterback Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. The team traveled to Detroit to face off against the Lions in their 23rd Thanksgiving matchup against the team, and 193rd overall meeting. The game was a close one, with both teams having nearly identical stats in all areas except […]
The Detroit Lions (7-5) dropped another close game in Week 13, falling to the Packers (8-4-1) for the second time this season. The Lions were dealing with a multitude of injuries, while also returning players from injury lists and signing/elevating several practice squad players to fill the voids. Let’s take a look at how the […]
No intro necessary. Let’s just get into the grades for the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. Quarterback: B+ I was not prepared for a shootout between the two teams, but Jared Goff was. On a day of solid quarterbacking from both teams, Goff was matching Jordan Love with big throw […]
Thanksgiving is a great holiday. You eat lots of food, are surrounded by loved ones, and the best part is, there is Detroit Lions football on TV. That last part is only enjoyable if the outcome is a good one, and it wasn’t this year. After defeating the Chicago Bears last season, ending a seven-year […]
The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions.
