08/22/2024Ryan Nelke and Chris HeiteNFL.comsportsHeading into 2024, the NFC North has a fresh look. For the first time in 30 years, the Detroit Lions have topped the division, signaling a shift in power. In Green Bay, fans witnessed the rise of Jordan Love, who led the Packers from a 3-6 start to the final playoff spot, nearly defeating the top-seeded 49ers in the Divisional Round. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears are hopeful that quarterback Caleb Williams, the top pick in the 2024 draft, will revive the franchise. However, in Minnesota, rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a torn meniscus during the preseason. This means that Skol Nation’s hopes for this season now rest on Sam Darnold.
