Overview
- The NFL scheduled Green Bay at Minnesota for Sunday at noon Central on CBS at U.S. Bank Stadium.
- The Packers are locked into the NFC’s No. 7 seed after their loss to Baltimore, so the result will not affect their playoff position.
- The Vikings are eliminated but enter at 8-8 and can finish with a winning record after four straight wins.
- Quarterback watch: Jordan Love missed the last game in the concussion protocol, and J.J. McCarthy is dealing with a small fracture in his throwing hand with Max Brosmer next up if needed.
- With seeding fixed, Green Bay is expected to limit starters, and Chicago’s division title sets up a potential wild-card trip to the Bears or, depending on late results, to the Eagles.
