GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Packers are in a position many thought impossible just one month ago. They control their playoff future.
After entering December with a 4-8 record, the Green and Gold are just one win away from clinching the NFC’s final Wild Card bid. The Packers are fighting with the Lions and Seahawks for that last spot. A quick glance at the standings shows that all of those teams have identical 8-8 records.
