Sunday’s bounce-back performance secured win number nine for the Green Bay Packers. Mike McCarthy used to talk about needing to hit 10 victories before even considering thinking about the playoffs. In their first season under Matt LaFleur, the Packers are close.
Four games remain. Four victories would ensure the Packers are NFC North champions, and it would potentially be enough to earn a week off in the wild-card round. Winning out isn’t necessarily required for the Packers to wrap up the division title, as important as the Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings may be.
