The Green Bay Packers won on Sunday and they stay in playoff position. When the Detroit Lions lost on Sunday night, the Packers moved up into sixth place in the conference after occupying the seventh slot.
The Chicago Bears were on the ropes late against the Minnesota Vikings but found a way to win, so they sneak ahead of the Packers. Chicago leads the NFC North at least for right now. The Detroit Lions lost on Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, plummeting out of the playoff picture completely.
The San Francisco 49ers won but remain just out of the playoff picture. If the Lions lose to fall to 6-4, the 49ers are in position and Detroit is out.
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks to shake up the NFC West and drop Seattle into the wild card race.
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Detroit Lions to ascend to first place once again after the Rams briefly held the top spot in the afternoon.
The Lions are 6-4 while the Carolina Panthers are on the doorstep at 6-5.
