Even after back-to-back heartbreaking losses, the Green Bay Packers still have so much to play for. They cling to an outside shot at winning the NFC North, and one more win will, at the very least, guarantee a playoff berth.
Several players also face questions about their future with the team, including Rashan Gary. The Packers need their 2019 first-round pick to elevate his play following Micah Parsons' season-ending injury, both for the short-term and also to ensure he's part of Matt LaFleur's long-term plans.
It's the most wonderful time of year, sure, but for many Packers, it's also the most important time of the season.
