Say hello to your NFC North divisional winner and your current top seed in the NFC playoff race – the Green Bay Packers. Coupled with the Minnesota Vikings losing earlier in the day on the road to the Tampa Bay Vikings, the 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions was what helped sew up the divisional…
