Sadly, no NFC North teams made the Conference Championships round. The Bears' luck ran out, and the Packers never had any to begin with. The Lions and Vikings couldn't be bothered to make the playoffs. We don't have anything to talk about with the losers division today, but we can at least revisit some familiar names.
Sam Darnold
When the Vikings had to choose between Darnold, McCarthy, and maybe even Aaron Rodgers last year, I made fun of them in advance for potentially overpaying Darnold when he choked away home-field advantage in the final regular-season game and then lost the playoff game.
