They restart their conference: Green Bay has everything to lead the reconstruction

The changes, the new faces and the renewals both in the technical bodies and at the management level, give a new face to the NFC North, which could give the occasional surprise in the 2022 NFL season.
As is customary in the League, Green Bay is once again the favorite to win the North Division of the National League, but it will have to show that it can without Davante Adams or Márquez Valdes-Scantling.
Beyond the fact that the Packers renewed Aaron Rodgers, the veteran quarterback will have to find new partners to make his team work under the guidance of coach Matt LaFleur.
Green Bay will bet on receiver Allen Lazard, who must leave his secondary role to become a protagonist, as well as Sammy Watkins, whose hands will seek to repeat the numbers they once achieved.
The Minnesota Vikings are the ones who will try to overthrow the reign of the Packers, but much will depend on the chemistry that their new coach, Kevin O’Connell, achieves with his ex
QB Kirk Cousins.
Especially since O’Connell has opted for a game that seeks to damage the rival through the air, rather than on the ground, which may well benefit Cousins ​​and his main partner Justin Jefferson.
Behind are the Detroit Lions, who require their quarterback Jared Goff to react without his former coach Sean McVay, whom he missed during the previous season. Therefore, the general manager of the Lions has surrounded Goff with various weapons to try to recover the best version of the QB of him, such as the arrivals of DJ Chark and Jameson Williams.
For its part, Chicago looks like the main victim with a team that, like the division itself, is rebuilding and waiting for what Justin Fields can do, relying on its new offensive coordinator, Luke Getsy, Green’s former pass coordinator. Bay. Fields has potential to break out in the NFL, but he has yet to capitalize on the opportunity.

Green Bay Packers: looking for Rodgers replacements
Matt LaFleur will be looking to win the NL North once again, but he knows he needs to find the best partners for Aaron Rodgers, following the departures of Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Sammy Watkins, Allen Lazard and Amari Rodgers need to find their best selves in order to exploit the passing game with Rodgers. LaFleur will also have to overcome the absence of two members of his technical staff: Nathaniel Hackett, offensive coordinator, and Luke Getsy, pass game coordinator, who had shown his quality alongside Matt in Green Bay.
The Packers also want to put together a better offensive line and a lot will depend on David Bakhtiari finally being 100 percent after overcoming a difficult injury.

Minnesota Vikings: Other hands on the helm
With Kevin O’Connell as their new coach, Minnesota has weapons to make it difficult for Green Bay, as long as their QB, Kirk Cousins, fires up. What is true is that Cousins ​​will have at his side Justin Jefferson, who will surely be for the fourth season in a row among the leaders of catches and yards in the NFL.
But the Vikings could also go strong if injuries spare Dalvin Cook, a dangerous running back who is shaping up to be one of the biggest headaches for any rival. However, it remains to be seen if they put up a defensive wall under their new defensive coordinator, Ed Donatell, who arrives from Denver.
It is not unreasonable that Minnesota can get at least 10 wins and thus fight for the top with Green Bay.

Chicago Bears: They have Fields dependence
Chicago has no way to fight for the Playoffs, much less the division title, being in full reconstruction, but everything will happen because of what Justin Fields does, who needs to make chemistry soon with his new teammates.
Fields will have the support of new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who left Green Bay, but will look to build the new Bears. It will also be important for Justin Fields to find partners, as there are many doubts about receiving him.
In their defensive line they still have steam, with Robert Quinn, who at 32 years old will start the season as the sixth active player with the most sacks in the NFL and number 35 in history. Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins, of Green Bay and Minnesota, respectively, are among his favorite QBs.

Detroit Lions: defend with the claws
Detroit hopes that its quarterback Jared Goff reacts in this new season, but it is more urgent to improve defensively.
The Lions selected Aidan Hutchinson in the Draft, a defensive end who can well solve the main lack of the franchise last season, such as the low number of sacks. In 2021 Detroit was ranked 30th in the sack rankings so they need to be more aggressive on the defensive line.
Goff needs to find himself again and for this he could rely on DJ Chark and Jameson Williams, who are called to give an explosive injection to the attack of this franchise. Detroit will also get offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who will look to wake up Goff.
