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 6 is upon us. The guys started by discussing whether the undefeated Vikings are true contenders or if they’re pretenders who have often won ugly in their 5-0 start. The group then reflected on the Packers routing the Bears at Lambeau Field last Sunday and what that tells us about their outlooks moving forward. Looking ahead to this Sunday, the group previewed the Bears-Falcons and Packers-Cowboys matchups. They also took stock of the state of the Vikings and Lions as they’re both on their bye weeks.

David Haugh and Jarrett Payton reacted to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' press conference Thursday in which he expressed frustration around previous reporting about the severity of his hamstring injury. The guys also welcomed on Tribune reporter Brad Biggs to preview the Bears-Falcons game Sunday.
