- NFC_North abstract "The NFC North is a division of the National Football League (NFL)'s National Football Conference (NFC), based in the Upper Midwest region of the United States. It currently has four members: the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings, all of which are based in a state that touches at least one of the Great Lakes. The NFC North was previously called the NFC Central from 1970 to 2001 (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were members from 1977 until 2002 due to the expansion of the Houston Texans, which moved them to the NFC South).The division was created in 1967 as the Central Division of the NFL's Western Conference and existed for three seasons before the AFL–NFL merger. After the merger, it was renamed the NFC Central and retained that name until the NFL split into eight divisions in 2002. The four teams have been together in the same division or conference since the Vikings joined the league in 1961. The Bears, Lions and Packers have been in the same division or conference since the NFL began a conference format in 1933.Based on the ages of its teams, the NFC North is the oldest division in the NFL, at a combined 332 years old. The Bears are 96 years old (founded in 1919 in Decatur, Illinois; moved to Chicago in 1921), the Packers are also 96 years old (founded in 1919, but turned professional in 1921), the Lions are 86 years old (founded 1929 in Portsmouth, Ohio; moved to Detroit in 1934), and the Vikings are 54 years old (founded 1961). The division has a total of 11 Super Bowl appearances. The Packers have the most appearances in the Super Bowl with 5, the most recent happening in 2011. The Bears and the Packers have the only Super Bowl wins of this division, a total of 5 (4 for the Packers and 1 for the Bears). Of the top 10 NFL teams with the highest winning percentage throughout its franchise history, three of them are in the NFC North (the Bears, the Packers and the Vikings). The Lions however, have one of the lowest winning percentages in the NFL, including the only winless 16-game season in NFL history.Entering 2014 the Bears lead the division with an overall record of 730-534-42, victory in Super Bowl XX and eight pre-Super Bowl league titles; Chicago's overall playoff record is 17-18. The Packers hold an overall record of 698-537-36 with an overall playoff record of 30-18, four Super Bowl titles, and nine pre-Super Bowl league titles - bringing the Packers to a total of 13 World Championships, an NFL record. The Lions hold a record of 517-620-32, four league championships, and a 7-11 playoff record. As the youngest (in terms of existence) team in the division, the Vikings hold a record of 431-365-9, a playoff record of 19-27, and had won a league title the season before the merger (although they lost Super Bowl IV).This division earned the moniker "Black and Blue Division" due to its intense rivalries and physical style of play, and this nickname is still used regularly today. It is also known as the "Frostbite Division" as all teams played home games in late season winter cold until the mid-1970s. The division is also humorously called the "Frozen North", although Detroit has played its home games indoors since 1975, and Minnesota also did so from 1982 to 2013 and will return its home games indoors once U.S. Bank Stadium is completed in 2016. ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman often refers to this division as the "NFC Norris" because of its geographical similarity to the National Hockey League's old Norris Division. Also, three of the division's teams are located in metropolitan areas which also have members of the Big Ten Conference; the Packers, being the odd one out, are not in the immediate area of their state's Big Ten member.".
