Detroit Lions got better. So did the NFC North, now home to three tantalizingly young QBs.

The Detroit Lions swept the NFC North two years ago. Last season, they went 4-2, sweeping the Vikings while splitting with the Packers and Bears.  

This season, the black and blue division could be even tougher. At the very least, there is more talent, especially young talent, especially at quarterback.  

At the moment, it's still projection, though not in Green Bay, where Jordan Love led the Packers to a 6-2 finish during the regular season, a beatdown in Dallas in the wild card round, and a near upset in San Francisco in the divisional round.
