Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell says his team executed in all three phases when trailing by one point late against the Minnesota Vikings in what became a 31-29 victory.

What you're seeing when you look at the NFL standings is correct -- the NFC North is the best division in the league through the first six weeks of the 2024 season. After they won their first division title since 1993 last year,

Forget about the AFC North. The Vikings, Lions, Packers and Bears have combined to make it clear which is the NFL's best division in 2024.

The Lions looked unstoppable, the Packers cruised and the Bears played their best game yet to send a statement to the rest of the league.

Six weeks into the 2024 NFL season, it seems rather clear that the NFC North is the best division in football. Each of the division's four teams is above .500: the Minnesota Vikings are 5-0, the Detroit Lions are 4-1 and the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are each 4-2.

Sunday also includes the debuts of Amari Cooper and Davante Adams with their new teams and Russell Wilson at QB for Pittsburgh.

Only one finished the week still undefeated. The Chiefs stayed atop the AFC standings while the Lions jumped the Vikings into first place in the NFC. Kansas City is the lone undefeated team in the NFL heading into Week 8.
