Former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew believes the Minnesota Vikings are the favorites to win the NFC North, citing Sam Darnold's strong play and Detroit Lions' injuries.
on Monday night, bringing their record to 12-2 on the season and drawing even with the Lions at the top of the NFC North, former All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew is putting Minnesota as the favorite to win the division.
Darnold joined Minnesota in the offseason on a one-year, $10-million deal. With his strong play, Darnold has set himself up to cash in on a big contract in the offseason. If he does that elsewhere, Minnesota has the option of falling back on J.J. McCarthy, who they selected with the No. 10 overall pick in this year's draft.
