The Green Bay Packers are 5-8 and entering Week 14 with a four percent chance of making the postseason, per FiveThirtyEight. Matt LaFleur’s team has a bye this week, so there’s nothing the Packers can do to help their chances.
But even if the Packers win out over the final four games, the slim path to the postseason requires help from the outside. And it has to start this week.
Green Bay is chasing three teams with seven wins (Giants, Seahawks, Commanders), and two of the three (Giants, Commanders) have both a tie on their record and the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Packers.
