King in the North Pod

We've got a mega pod for you this week.  We go over the results of Week 2 and preview the upcoming Week 3 slate.  The Packers look to continue hot out of the gates in Cleveland, the Bears host the Cowboys and look to get a much-needed win, the Lions go up against a juggernaut of a test opponent in the Ravens, and the Vikings will duel it out with backup QBs against the Bengals.

With the Packers having TNF, the rest of the division still has Week 2 to play for.  Ben Johnson makes his return to Detroit as the Lions host the Bears with both teams avoiding a dreaded 0-2 start.  To cap off the week, the Falcons travel up to Minesota where the Vikings look to ride the high after a wild victory in Week 1.

Week 1 is in the books! Packers came out with a statement victory over the Lions and JJ McCarthy led one of the more dramatic comebacks int he Vikings vs Bears rivalry.  We also have the packers playing the Commies in TNF so we have the preview for that as well.
