At 11-4, the Packers have won 9 of their last 10 games and currently hold the #2 seed in the NFC playoff picture after San Francisco lost at Seattle on Sunday night 42-13.
The Packers still likely need to win their final game at Minnesota to hang on to that #2 seed. They’ll be challenged too. The Vikings need a win over the Packers on Sunday to clinch a spot in the post-season themselves.
