GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers found a way to earn the NFC’s top playoff seed even after injuries left them without a few of their top performers from last season.
Whether those guys will return in time for the postseason remains up in the air.
The Packers (13-3) are seeking their first Super Bowl berth since their 2010 title. That quest would get easier if offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, cornerback Jaire Alexander and outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith are able to help.
Bakhtiari was a first-team selection and Alexander and Smith earned second-team honors in last season’s All-Pro balloting.
