No debate: Why the NFC North is easily the NFL's best division this season

Forget about the AFC North. The Vikings, Lions, Packers and Bears have combined to make it clear which is the NFL's best division in 2024.

I was wrong. I'll start very simply there. Back in August, we ran a point/counterpoint on which division would be the NFL's best in 2024. I made the case for the AFC North — which had all four teams with winning records last season — and my FOX Sports colleague, Carmen Vitali, chose the NFC North. What is the NFL's best division? Let's debate! She was soooooooooo right.

It starts with quarterback play: All four starters have at least eight touchdown passes, and Love has 12 despite missing two games. But it's much more than just the QBs. Look at turnover margin, where all four NFC North teams rank in the top seven in the league. Green Bay is an NFL-best plus-12, Chicago and Detroit are plus-6 and Minnesota is plus-4. It's even more pronounced on defense, with the Packers, Bears and Vikings ranking 1-2-3 in takeaways.
