Nobody mocked the belt this week. But maybe it would have been better if they had. If so, the Green Bay Packers might have had a less heart attack-inducing finish to their win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
But after the dust settled on week 15 in the NFL — a drunk week that saw a couple of huge upsets help out the Packers — Green Bay sits alone atop the NFC in the race for home-field advantage. The team’s 31-30 victory in Baltimore, along with the Lions’ shocking win over the Cardinals and an ugly 9-0 Saints win over the Buccaneers gives the Packers a full-game lead over their closest competitors in the conference.
