The NFC playoff race continues to heat up as the Green Bay Packers (9-4) and Seattle Seahawks (8-5) meet in a critical ‘Sunday Night Football’ matchup.
The Seahawks sit atop the NFC West entering Week 15, but the Los Angeles Rams are hot on their feathered tails after a ‘TNF’ win over the 49ers. Given the tiebreaker situation in the division, Seattle needs every win it can get if it wants to emerge atop the heap in the NFC West.
That starts with a win over the Packers on ‘SNF.’ Green Bay is looking to bounce back after a 34-31 shootout loss to the Lions in Week 14.
The Pack finds itself in the midst of a great season, but that doesn’t much matter in the NFC North in 2024. Green Bay has just two losses since the calendar has flipped to October, and both came at the hands of Detroit.
With two of the better teams in football (the Lions and Vikings) ahead of them in the standings, the Packers’ best hope to make the playoffs will be a wild-card spot. A win against the Seahawks, a team that may be vying for space in that same wild card playoff picture, will go a long way.
