The Green Bay Packers’ playoff chances are currently hanging on by a thread, thanks to back-to-back losses at the hands of the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Matt LaFleur’s squad (6-8) has a chance to increase those chances against the Carolina Panthers (2-12), the worst team in the NFL, on Christmas Eve in Charlotte. Kickoff is set for 12:00 P.M. CST, and the Week 16 contest will be aired on FOX, with Chris Myers serving as the play-by-play commentator and former Minnesota Vikings running back Robert Smith serving as the color analyst.
Given the unappetizing matchup, only a sliver of the country will be able to watch the national broadcast.
