NFC North quarterback power rankings Week 7: Jordan Love is building momentum

The NFC North can't stop winning games. While the Minnesota Vikings sat on bye, the other three teams in action dominated their respective games.

Each quarterback was incredible, certainly making these rankings tough this week. Jordan Love and Caleb Williams each threw four touchdowns to lead the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears to big wins, while Jared Goff helped the Detroit Lions crush the Dallas Cowboys.

With that in mind, this serves as a reminder that this weighs both this week's action and everything that has led up to this point.

Packers' Jordan Love keeps rising in NFC North quarterback rankings for Week 7

4. Sam Darnold, Vikings

Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings didn't play last week, which puts him in the cellar of this week's rankings. It is no fault of his own, but it goes to show just how well the other guys in this division played. Darnold has been fantastic all season, helping the Vikings remain perfect coming out of their bye.

However, Darnold was held without a touchdown his last time out, leading Minnesota to a 23-17 win over the New York Jets. Darnold will face a huge test this week as the Vikings host the Lions in an NFC North showdown.

3. Caleb Williams, Bears

The Bears stand at 4-2 with a third of the season in the books. It hasn't always been pretty, but Chicago is finding its stride, and Williams is living up to the first-overall pick billing. In the 35-16 win against Jacksonville, Williams completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception. He also chipped in 56 rushing yards on four carries.

The Bears are beating bad teams, but they are looking good. Williams' interception was ugly, floating a deep ball that was pretty easily picked off. It was his first in 81 throws, and Williams is clearly improving.

2. Jared Goff, Lions

What a redemption for the Lions. After a tough loss to Dallas in the later part of last season, they handed Mike McCarthy's team a 47-9 loss in their own stadium last week. Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns.

It wasn't quite the perfect game he had before the Lions' bye week, but Goff was great again. Goff and the Lions are rolling, now at 4-1 this season. Now, Detroit looks to hand Minnesota its first loss of the season.

1. Jordan Love, Packers

Despite missing two games, Love currently sits second in the NFL for touchdown passes with 12. Love added four in the Packers' 34-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau. He finished 22-of-32 for 258 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception.

Not all interceptions are equal. While throwing six this season is certainly far from ideal, the one last week may have been the most flukey, outside of the double tip against Minnesota. Love easily had his best game of the season and looks to continue the momentum as Green Bay hosts Houston this week.
