In a tip of the cap to Peter King of SI.com, here is a fact that might interest only us (and perhaps P3): the NFC North team with the best point differential this year? Your Green Bay Packers, who have scored 36 more points than they have allowed, which is hard to do when you’re 5-8 (but easier to understand when you notice five of their last six losses were by four points or fewer). The 8-5 Vikings are +31, while the 7-6 Bears are +26. The 0-13 Lions are right on everyone’s heels at -194.
