How Will Aaron Rodgers' Injury Affect the NFC North?

The NFC North is a three-team race between the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. The three teams are deadlocked heading into Week 10 with records of 5-3, while Minnesota is languishing at the bottom of the division, having won just once this year.

Technically, Detroit leads the division with the Bears in second, having beaten Chicago earlier this year, which beat Green Bay on Monday Night Football.

Chances are, the Packers would have won that game if not for Aaron Rodgers' shoulder injury, which occurred in the first quarter and kept him out for the remainder of the game. Afterward, it was discovered that his collarbone was fractured on his nonthrowing shoulder.

Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports notes a source saying Rodgers could be out four to six weeks with this injury:

Seneca Wallace will continue starting behind center for Green Bay while Rodgers is out, and we saw from Monday night's game that he doesn't give the Packers much of a threat through the air. 

Meanwhile, Detroit appears to be gaining positive momentum heading into the second half, and Chicago should get better once Jay Cutler returns from his groin injury, which could be as early as this weekend against the Lions, as noted by Chris Mortensen of ESPN:

Detroit travels to Chicago this Sunday, and the winner will lead the division no matter what Green Bay does against Philadelphia at home. 

After its battle with the Bears, Detroit has two games in a row against losing teams, and Chicago faces three of the NFL's worst teams before hosting Dallas in Week 14. Both teams should finish the season strong, based on their opponents.

Given the way Green Bay's offense struggled without Rodgers on Monday night, nobody should be surprised to see the Packers hit a bit of a losing streak while he's on the mend. The Bears and Lions will surge ahead, leaving the Packers on the outside looking in when the playoffs roll around. 

Coming Out Party for Cam Newton and the Panthers?

After opening up the season with a record of 1-3, Carolina has rebounded with four straight wins. Heading into the second half, the Panthers are just one game behind the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South with a record of 5-3.

Featuring a stifling defense that ranks No. 3 in the NFL in yards allowed and No. 2 in points allowed, the Panthers have the look of a team ready to make some noise in the postseason. 

Cam Newton seems to be putting it all together this year. He's coming off a recent three-game stretch in which he threw six touchdowns without throwing a single interception, but he relapsed last Sunday, throwing two picks against the Atlanta Falcons. 

Newton and his burgeoning team faces an opponent this weekend that will truly test where this team is at, however, when they take on the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park in Northern California.

San Francisco is coming off its bye and looks stronger than ever.

Before the week off, the 49ers had won five games in a row, scoring at least 31 points in all five games. San Francisco's defense has been coming on incredibly strong of late, racking up turnovers like they're going out of style. 

This combination of potent scoring and dominant defense is the same recipe that got the 49ers to the Super Bowl last year. If the Panthers want to make a national statement, then a victory on the road against the NFC's champion from last year would do the trick.
