It’s still early, but it certainly looks like the NFC North will be a two-team race. With the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings sitting at 0-3, the division could come down to the Green Bay Packers and upstart Detroit Lions.

Week 4 will give fans an early opportunity to see which team has the advantage. After looking hopeless for three quarters on Sunday, Jordan Love and the Packers pulled off a miracle comeback against the New Orleans Saints. In his first season as the team’s undisputed starter, Love threw 7 touchdowns to 1 interception.

The Lions didn’t make things nearly as dramatic in Week 3. The team successfully nailed two field goals for the Atlanta Falcons, handily winning the contest 20-6. It was a welcome change for the Lions, who have mostly relied on their potent offense to overcome opponents.

Points may be tough to come by against a tough Packers front in Week 4. Can the Lions do enough to take control of the NFC North? Or will Love and the Packers pull off another late win?

Follow along as Yahoo Sports brings you the latest news, stats and injuries as the Lions take on the Packers on “Thursday Night Football.”
