The Minnesota Vikings enter their Week 6 bye with a semi-surprising 3-2 record that has them very much in competition for the NFC North title and a playoff spot.
The NFC North wasn't always the best division in football. Most years in recent memory, the Lions or Bears (or both) stunk to the point where the division from top to bottom was rarely in the conversation as the league's best.
Most NFL fans would surmise that either Kevin O'Connell or Matt LaFleur may be included on a Top 10 Coaches list ahead of the season. Some may even have both on their lists.
If Aaron Jones has it his way in Minnesota this season, he and young quarterback JJ McCarthy will be spending a lot of time together on the field in leading roles for the Vikings.
It's been a relatively quiet start to the offseason for the Green Bay Packers, but they're now dealing with another vacancy on their defensive coaching staff.
