The Green Bay Packers received a Christmas present from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday as they defeated the Detroit Lions. The Lions’ loss clinches a playoff spot for the Packers, but our hopes aren’t over yet.
NFC North standings
The Packers remain in contention for the NFC North title in the final two weeks of the season. The losses for the Packers and Chicago have been decided. If the Bears win, they could also seal the win. Green Bay plays on Saturday, so they should play like the division, especially since the Bears will face a very motivated San Francisco 49ers team on Sunday night.
