The Detroit Lions kicked off the NFL season with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs, making one hell of a first impression for 2023. On Sunday, the rest of the NFC North had their chance, and it’s fair to say each of them made an impression—just not maybe the one they would have liked.
Last year, the Minnesota Vikings had the NFL’s most unbelievable run in close games.
