Not gonna lie, I shuffled into Christmas thinking that, with all the injuries and late-game failures of late, my Green Bay Packers’ playoff hopes were in serious jeopardy. Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way you want them to, even during the magical season of Christmas.
And even though we went into the holiday break knowing that a Detroit Lions loss to the Minnesota Vikings would elbow Green Bay into at least a Wildcard seed, did anyone really believe a Vikings team led by third-string quarterback Max Brosmer would beat the recent bullies of the NFC North?
