Packers' Playoff Push: What's Next for Green Bay?
The Green Bay Packers are on the brink of something big. They just beat the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, but that win didn't change their spot in the NFC playoff race. They're still in sixth place, but things could change fast.
Playoff Implications
If the Chicago Bears lose their game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, the Packers could jump to the top of their division.
The Lions' loss means they're now on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs. They're one game behind the team that would get the last wild card spot.
