Inside The North: Bears make their blockbuster move, Packers get a key win, Lions & Vikings set for a showdown

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 8 is upon us. The guys started by discussing the Bears’ blockbuster trade to acquire star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Titans. Simmons will elevate the Bears’ defense and championship hopes. Another team playing well is the Packers, who improved to 5-3 with a 27-19 win against the Panthers on Thursday Night Football. The team that everyone is chasing in the division is the Vikings, who are 6-0 and could also be looking to fortify their roster ahead of the trade deadline. Could the Vikings make a move for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor as Indianapolis has begun a fire sale? While the Packers have already done their work in Week 8, two showdowns remain involving NFC North teams. The Lions will host the Vikings on Sunday, while the Bears will visit the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. The guys previewed those two games and shared their predictions.
