Overview
- Minnesota beat Detroit 23-10 on Christmas, forcing six turnovers that produced points and ending the Lions’ playoff hopes at 8-8.
- The result secured Green Bay a postseason berth, and the Packers can still win the division by winning out if Chicago loses its final two games.
- Green Bay ruled Jordan Love out for Saturday against Baltimore with a concussion and a shoulder injury, shifting focus to the backup plan.
- Malik Willis is listed as questionable with a shoulder issue and illness, and the Packers could elevate Clayton Tune if Willis cannot play.
- Despite being sacked seven times and throwing for 51 yards, undrafted rookie Max Brosmer started in the Vikings’ win as the defense powered a fourth straight victory to reach 8-8.
