GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers got all the help they needed Sunday so that all they have to do is win their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions on Sunday night to make the playoffs. On Monday, they might have gotten one more assist from the NFL.
The league announced that the Packers-Lions game at Lambeau Field will be the final game of the regular season on Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET.
Both the Packers and Lions are 8-8, but the Packers need no other help to clinch the NFL's final wild-card spot if they win.
