The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

Less than a year after making seismic changes to their organization, and less than three months after falling to 2-5, the Packers are now 9-8 and headed to the postseason for the first time since 2021.

The Dallas Cowboys are the NFC’s No. 2 seed by virtue of being the NFC East champions and are coming off a dominant win over the Washington Commanders to earn that division title.

The Packers rode a 300-yard passing day from Jordan Love and a suffocating defense to a 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.

For the second straight season, the Green Bay Packers find themselves in a win-and-in situation against a division rival who is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
