On a new episode of Inside The North, host David Haugh and expert analysts Dave Wannstedt, T.J. Lang, Mason Crosby and Chad Greenway discussed the NFC North outlook as Week 7 is upon us. The guys started by discussing the Bears' 30-24 win against the Patriots on Thursday Night Football. Quarterback Caleb Williams was sensational and the Bears look to be in a groove, but they could also use some help at the trade deadline. After that, the guys took stock of the Lions, who really need a win against the Packers on Sunday. Helping their case is that star safety Brian Branch is set to return. But what's going on with tight end Sam LaPorta being frustrated with his contract right now? Meanwhile, the Vikings remain undefeated and sit atop the NFC North as they prepare to face the Colts. They should take care of business, but what could trip them up? Lastly, the Packers seem to be gaining momentum after their slow start to the season, and now they're getting running back Josh Jacobs back.
