Despite losing to the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, the Green Bay Packers were able to retain the seventh seed in the NFC this week with help from the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. As we mentioned earlier in the week, those two teams were the biggest threats to leapfrog the Packers in the standings. Thankfully, they both lost on Sunday — Los Angeles to the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle to the San Francisco 49ers.
That doesn’t mean that the Packers are home safe yet, though. With four more weeks to go, the Packers are now in a six-way tie in the NFC with a 6-7 record, complicating the playoff picture moving forward.
