Thanks to the collapse of the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers no longer have to worry about winning one of their two remaining games to make the NFC playoffs.
But the Packers certainly want to go into the playoffs with some momentum, even if they can't wrestle the NFC North title away from the Chicago Bears over the next two weeks.
Green Bay's game against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night, Dec. 27 still has some regular-season significance. The Packers will force the Bears to win one more game to clinch the NFC North as long as they beat the Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings next weekend. And the Ravens will still have faint playoff hopes if they defeat Green Bay at Lambeau Field.
Quarterback Jordan Love (concussion) has been ruled out for the game, meaning backup Malik Willis is expected to start despite recovering from a shoulder injury.
Ravens signal-caller Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful due to a back injury, meaning Tyler Huntley will get the start with their season on the line.
