Winning NFC North games is the best route to the division crown, and that’s exactly what the Green Bay Packers have done so far this season.
The Packers enter Week 17 a perfect 5-0 against their division rivals with an opportunity to complete a season sweep for only the second time this decade. The last time was all the way back in 2011.
A win on Sunday wouldn’t just be the Packers’ first division sweep since 2011, but also their best overall record since the same season. Victory over the Lions would put Green Bay 13-3 with a first-round bye.
