NFC North Power Rankings Week 6: Caleb Williams has the Bears being taken seriously

2. Detroit Lions (2)

Week 5 Result: BYE

The game that everyone is waiting for is in Week 7 when the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings play each other for the first time this season. The Lions are the reigning NFC North champions but in our power rankings, have been unseated by the Vikings due to Minnesota's undefeated start.

The difference between the two teams may be quarterback play. The last time we saw Jared Goff, he was perfect in a Monday night victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, Darnold's struggles against the Jets could be regression knocking on the door. If Darnold does regress, the Lions could easily return to the top spot in the NFC North.
