With Week 14 officially in the books, let’s get you updated on Green Bay’s scenarios for clinching a playoff spot. Put simply, it could happen as early as Sunday. Here are the two primary possibilities, according to the NFL:

  1. A Packers win Sunday at Pittsburgh combined with a Dallas loss Saturday night at New Orleans.
  2. A Packers win Sunday at Pittsburgh combined with the New York Giants losing (or tying) at Washington on Monday night.
Given the opposite directions the Cowboys and Saints are going these days, it’s very possible the Packers will arrive at Heinz Field knowing they can secure a playoff berth with a win. Could make for an interesting day.
