NFC NORTH: Where all four teams stand heading into Week 7

All four NFC North franchises currently hold playoff positions heading into Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season. The Minnesota Vikings lead the division with an undefeated 5-0 record, followed closely by the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears at 4-2, and the Detroit Lions at 3-2. The Lions prepare to host the Packers on Sunday in their first divisional matchup of the campaign.

Strong quarterback play and defensive performances highlight each club's early success. The Vikings boast the league's top scoring defense, while Green Bay excels with explosive deep passing from Jordan Love. Chicago is bolstered by Caleb Williams' efficient return from injury, and Detroit leads the NFL in sacks behind a historic start from Jared Goff.
