The marquee match-up on Sunday between the Packers and Seahawks was marked on many calendars coming into 2016. It was unforeseen, however, just how drastic the playoff implications would be in the eventual outcome.
The Packers are clinging to their hopes at a last-ditch desperation run at the postseason and are currently 2-0 since quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that his team could run the table down the final six-game stretch. They're one-third of the way there.
The odds were already stacked against the green-and-gold underdogs, but now with a star pass-rusher in Nick Perry already ruled inactive for this game, playoff dreams are already beginning to disintegrate.
