The Green Bay Packers are officially alive in the NFC playoff race entering Week 17.
Once 4-8, the Packers now only need three individual results over the final two weeks to clinch a playoff spot in the NFC: two wins (vs. Vikings, vs. Lions) and one Commanders loss (either vs. Browns or vs. Cowboys).
The Packers could also get in with two wins and two Giants losses (vs. Colts, at Eagles).
Elimination also looms over this week. If the Packers lose, a win by either the Lions or Commanders would mathematically eliminate Green Bay entering the final week.
