The Green Bay Packers won on Sunday in very convincing fashion, so no matter what happens the rest of the weekend, they will hold onto a playoff spot. They were in line to take the NFC North lead by the Chicago bears pulled out a close game over the Pittsburgh Steelers to stay in first.

The Seattle Seahawks won to stay in fifth place in the NFC, ahead of the Packers for now.

The Detroit Lions also won on Sunday, but couldn’t get past the San Francisco 49ers on a tiebreaker. They remain on the outside looking in.

The Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers play on Sunday night. The San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers play Monday. Some huge games left on the NFC slate this weekend.

We will definitely update as results come in.
