Rahimi & Grote Show

On a new episode of Inside The North, host David Haugh and expert analysts Dave Wannstedt, T.J. Lang, Mason Crosby and Chad Greenway discussed the NFC North outlook as Week 9 is upon us. The guys started by discussing Lions linebacker Jack Campbell suffering a serious neck injury last week, reminding everyone of the dangers of the game. They also discussed how the Lions are playing good football as they’re riding a three-game winning streak ahead of a matchup against the Dolphins this Sunday. The Lions have made a couple key schematic changes lately. Another team on a roll is the Bears, who are riding a three-game winning streak and sit at 6-2, good for second place in the NFC North. The guys detailed what the Bears are doing so well – they’re playing really clean football – and their outlook moving forward while also previewing their game against the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. The group also previewed the Packers-Patriots game in Foxborough, where Green Bay hasn’t won since 2002. If the Packers are to keep having success, they have to rely on quarterback Jordan Love. In Crosby’s mind, the Packers should even consider minimizing their weak running game more. And of course, the guys looked ahead to the Vikings-Bills showdown on Monday Night Football. Can the Vikings avoid a losing streak after suffering their first setback of the season last week?
