NFC Playoff Picture Set After Green Bay Packers Lose Stunner To Lions

Published|Updated

Just like that, the NFL regular season has ended, and the playoff pictures have been locked in for both the AFC and NFC.

It all came down to Sunday night's NFC North matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.

Green Bay needed a win to get in, but the Lions had other plans and defeated the Pack, 20-16, to open the gate for Seattle's entry into the NFC postseason.
