The NFC North is at the center of the NFL world in Week 9 as the Detroit Lions head to Green Bay to face the Packers. The winner will take the division lead, and in Detroit’s case, go up with a virtual two-game lead in the division if they win the first matchup. The Lions have been rolling with five straight wins and have been lighting up the scoreboard with three 40-plus point outings in their last three games, highlighted by a 52-14 drubbing of the Tennessee Titans last Sunday.
The Packers are also hot, as they’ve won four straight, but there were questions at quarterback leading up to the game this week. Jordan Love was knocked out of the win over Jacksonville last week with a groin injury, but did return to practice on Thursday. He was cleared to play on Sunday, so Malik Willis will be his backup once again.

Jordan Love with a terrible pick-6 to Kirby Joseph
This one could be caused by Love’s inability to move like he wants because of the groin injury, but just an incredibly poor decision, and Kirby Joseph’s league-leading sixth interception on the season is a Lions’ touchdown, and Detroit now leads 17-3.

The Cardinals are in control against the Bears
Arizona has been quietly hanging around .500, and can get to 5-4 with a win over Chicago and stay connected in the NFC playoff picture. They look like they’re on their way now after Emari DeMercado’s 53-yard touchdown to put the Cardinals up 21-9 at the end of the first half.

Saquon Barkley, AGAIN!
A 3rd and 17 draw play is often a safety call to get in better position for a field goal or punt. But apparently Saquon Barkley isn’t too into punts, or what would have been a field goal try in this case. He’s got another game with multiple scores today against Jacksonville, and Philadelphia is out to a three-score lead heading toward halftime.
