Although there is one week left in the NFL’s 2023 regular season, there is just one game left before the calendar clicks over to 2024. That game features our Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings in a de facto playoff elimination game, with the loser of tonight’s prime time matchup being knocked out of the postseason race.
Both teams enter with matching 7-8 records and with significant injuries to note. For the Packers, it is the likes of Christian Watson, Luke Musgrave, and De’Vondre Campbell who will miss the game; Minnesota, meanwhile, gives quarterback Jaren Hall another start after benching both Joshua Dobbs and Nick Mullens after Kirk Cousins’ injury in these two teams’ first meeting.
