It was one of those things where I, as I did it, I thought this, this could get some people angry and it did.

So look, it's May.

I'm sure we're going to figure out April of May, whatever.

We're going to be okay, right?

There's going to be football in a few months and everything will be fine.

But yeah, I mean, a year ago, I think we were talking about all four teams being almost on the top half or at least in the top 20 overall.

So, you know, maybe I was a little unfair knocking the whole group down that much.

But, you know, the NFC is so deep in general.

I still have the Bears in, like, what, the top third of the league.

And as you pointed out, number one in the NFC North right now.

And, you know, I don't automatically give the division leader the nod the next year because obviously it depends on what they have and what they don't have.

But, you know, Vikings have some identity questions.

Lose their starting two and D tackles.

Quarterback change.

We don't know that Kyler Murray is just going to come in and take over and

Roster questions elsewhere, Harrison Smith could retire.

I would say that, look, even with a good defense and Justin Jefferson, they've got a lot of things they have to figure out.

Detroit, I think, will bounce back.

How healthy and how impactful that defense is to start the year is going to be interesting.
