The Green Bay Packers put together a statement NFC North victory in Week 1 at Lambeau Field as they bullied the Detroit Lions in a 27-13 victory that really wasn't as competitive as the final score suggests. Micah Parsons and the defense exposed a Jared Goff-led offense trying to find its identity after the departure of Ben Johnson. It would be hard to imagine a result that would make Packers faithful more confident in their team. And it caught the attention of Colin Cowherd, who has already seen enough to make a bold claim about their prospects.
"It is official," the host said on his show Monday. "Let me overreact. Green Bay is winning that division. I don't need to watch Vikings-Bears tonight and I do not need to see the Lions again."
