Bears Hold Solitary Grip on NFC North Throne After Dominant Win Over Vikings. The Chicago Bears continue to lead their division by a wide margin, holding onto first place after a thrilling 19-17 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
With the Packers and Lions trailing behind them, the Bears' lone status atop the NFC North is now officially cemented. The Packers sit at 6-3-1, the Lions at 6-4, and the Vikings at a disappointing 4-6. This marks the first time this season the Bears have held solo possession of first place in their division.
Coach Ben Johnson downplayed the significance of the Bears' current standing, attributing it to midseason positioning: "Guys, we're midseason right now... We've earned seven wins so far and we're really looking for the opportunity to go 1-0 next week." Despite this candid assessment, the reality is that the Bears have established themselves as a dominant force in the NFC North.
The Bears' sights are now set on their upcoming matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers – with or without quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Will they continue to assert their dominance, or will another division rival upset their plans?

7-0 is not out of the question if they keep playing like this, but u know how unpredictable football can be... 
the packers and lions are still in it tho, gotta give it to them for staying close with some crazy comeback wins. 
. but at the same time, you can tell they're gonna make a deep run in the playoffs. pittsburgh steelers are lookin like a tough matchup though 
cant wait to see if aarons back will affect their chances!
finally got some breathing room up top! Bears were dominating, and that win over Vikings was 
! Rodgers' situation is gonna be interesting - if he's out, the Steelers might have a shot. But Bears' defense has been 
solid all season. If they can keep it up, they'll run roughshod over anyone. Packers and Lions still got a bit of work to do to catch 'em... but hey, midseason positioning? Sounds like coach Ben Johnson's trying to give them cover 
, I mean, who wouldn't want to play in a division with those other two teams 
... just kidding, kinda. The Bears are looking solid, but let's see how they do against the Steelers. Still, it's hard to imagine anyone beating them at this point... or maybe that's just me being overly optimistic 
- their defense is looking 
the packers and lions have been close, but consistency is key in the nfl - only time will tell if they can keep it up
