Packers Face Uncertainty After Struggles Against NFC's Best Teams

Green Bay's 11-5 record masks a troubling 1-5 performance against top NFC playoff contenders this season.

The Packers have secured a playoff spot but have struggled against elite NFC teams, going 1-5 in such matchups this season.
Sunday’s 27-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings highlighted Green Bay’s recurring issues, including slow starts and inconsistent execution.
Star safety Xavier McKinney acknowledged the team’s shortcomings, emphasizing the need for cleaner play and faster starts to compete at a higher level.
Despite optimism from some players and analysts, the Packers have led for only 17.7% of the time in their five losses to NFC playoff contenders.
Green Bay is projected to face either the Eagles or Rams on the road in the first round of the playoffs, depending on Week 18 results.
