With an 11-5 record, Green Bay has clinched a spot in the postseason for the second year. Who they play, however, has yet to be officially determined.
The Packers are the seventh seed in the NFC following Washington’s victory over Atlanta in Week 17. Green Bay and Washington have identical 11-5 records, but the Commanders hold the tiebreaker over the Packers because they have a better conference record. If Green Bay loses or Washington wins in Week 18, they will officially be the seventh seed.
