NFL playoffs: What happens if Green Bay win against the Detroit Lions in Week 18?
If the Packers beat the Lions at Lambeau Field in Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season, Green Bay will clinch a ticket to the playoffs in the NFC. The formula is very simple for Aaron Rodgers and his teammates. Win and youâre in.
In this scenario, the Packers cannot climb further than the No.7 seed as a Wild Card team in the NFC. This means they will play all their postseason games on the road. Thatâs why many people wonder if the matchup against the Lions could be the last for Aaron Rodgers at Lambeau Field.
âYes. For sure (he thinks about last game at Lambeau Field). Just because you donât know what the future holds, but, when I thinkabout that there is nothing but gratitude. No remorse or sadness. Just gratitude for the time that Iâve been here. The amazing memories that Iâve had on this field. Thereâs been a lot of great moments, but Iâm still undecided about the future. Weâre just gonna enjoy Sunday Night and hopefully have some more to play for,â were the words of Aaron Rodgers.
