Aaron Rodgers remains upbeat about the Green Bay Packers' improving -- albeit still not great -- playoff chances.
The Packers (6-8) will likely need to win their remaining three games and get some help to have a chance. Green Bay's next step in that goal will be one of its most difficult as it takes on the Miami Dolphins in Miami Gardens, Fla., on Sunday afternoon -- the first of three NFL games on Christmas Day.
The Dolphins (8-6) could also use the victory to stay in the playoff picture after losing their past three games -- all on the road -- and slipping from first place in the AFC East to the seventh and final spot in the conference.
