NFL analyst Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report is really impressed by the Packers. He thinks they are “clearly the best team in the NFC North” and the fourth-best team in the NFL.
The Packers are 10th in the NFL in points per game and sixth in points per game allowed. They have an elite offense with QB Jordan Love leading the way and a strong defense with newcomer Micah Parsons causing havoc.
“It’s a very big win,” Love said after the Packers beat the Bears. Obviously, just where we’re at in the NFC North and the division that we have, I think we’ve got some really good teams in this division and, obviously, the Bears were on top. We knew what it was coming into it, and it’s a huge win. Obviously, we’ll be seeing these guys here again in a couple weeks.”
“Yeah, it meant a lot to everybody. But obviously, we’ve all known the comments that were out there so it is what it is. This is a game that means a lot to everybody. It’s an NFC North matchup. Obviously, Bears were No. 1 seed. So, it’s a huge game. We’ll see these guys here in a couple weeks again.”

The Packers have four games left in the regular season. They face the Denver Broncos, Bears, Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings.
“It means nothing right now,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after beating the Bears. “I mean, it means a lot, but there’s four weeks left and you’ve got to take it day by day. You’ve got to really embrace that grind, embrace the challenge. It’s not going to be easy from here on out. We’ve got a great test in Denver coming up.
“Our guys really got to push and try to find any competitive advantage that we can get in order to go there, on the road, against a really quality opponent and find a way to get a win.”
