EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Technically, the Green Bay Packers didn't lose their hold on the final playoff spot in the NFC. Their grip just got a little weaker.
But they might have lost something almost as important: Momentum.
That's what could happen when a Packers team that was coming off a three-game winning streak -- that included victories over two division leaders (Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs) -- suffers a 24-22 loss to a 4-8 New York Giants team that started a backup quarterback in front of plenty of empty seats at MetLife Stadium.
