The Packers have just five games remaining before the playoffs, each offering varying degrees of interest to both the casual and serious observer. What game do we like best? Here’s how our writers see it.
The NFL traditionally doesn’t play a full league schedule on Christmas Day, even when that day falls on a Sunday. Instead, there are usually one or two games on the holiday if it falls on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. As a result, the Packers have only played on Christmas twice, oddly both against the Chicago Bears: a 24-17 loss in 2005, and a 35-21 victory in 2011.
