The Packers are still in the hunt for the NFC North division title but already clinched a playoff spot thanks to the Minnesota Vikings 23-10 Christmas Day win against the Detroit Lions.
Green Bay still needs a win Saturday against Baltimore to keep its shot at the division title afloat. The Bears, who play the San Francisco 49ers at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, would clinch the NFC North with a Packers loss.
The Bears can clinch the division with a win Sunday night.
The Ravens also need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss would eliminate them from contention, as the Pittsburgh Steelers would clinch the AFC North. The Ravens are far down the pecking order for a wild card spot.
