The NFC North is a scary place for the Bears right now

The NFC North is the only division where every team is over .500 through Week 5, which is a pretty impressive feat.

Throughout history, the division has largely been dominated by the Packers. The Bears and Vikings each remained in power for a year or two, but eventually the Packers took it back. Only in the last two years have the Lions managed to gain a foothold and be successful. Despite everything, on paper they probably have the most dominant team.

Paper means nothing, however, as the Vikings sit at an impressive 5-0 and are one of only two remaining undefeated teams (along with the Kansas City Chiefs). The Lions were absent due to the break week, but are 3-1 and still have a path to becoming back-to-back division champions.

Rounding out the division, the Bears and Packers are in last place with a record of 3-2. Each organization took a different path to this record, but both are still positioned well heading into Week 6.
