The NFL's regular season will conclude with #Game272, Detroit at Green Bay on Sunday Night Football on NBC, the league announced earlier this afternoon.
The Packers must win the game to earn the NFC's No. 7 seed for the playoffs.
The Lions' playoff fate hinges on this game and the result of the Rams-Seahawks game earlier Sunday. If the Seahawks win, the Lions will be eliminated before the kickoff at Lambeau Field, and Seattle would earn the last playoff spot if Detroit beats Green Bay. If the Seahawks lose, the Packers-Lions game becomes a de facto playoff game, with the winner getting the No.
