The Green Bay Packers confirmed that Jordan Love has been ruled out for Saturdayās game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion and a left shoulder injury.
Despite two consecutive losses and a 9-5-1 record, the Packers have clinched a playoff berth thanks to the Detroit Lions being unable to defeat the Minnesota Vikings last Thursday.
However, on the road to a possible Super Bowl, home-field advantage can be a key factor, and the Packers still have a chance to improve their seeding. Loveās absence is a very tough blow to achieving that.
Have the Packers clinch a spot in the playoffs?
Yes. The Packers have clinched a spot in the playoffs since the Detroit Lions can no longer catch them in the race for the No. 7 seed in the NFC. No matter what happens in the final two games, their playoff berth is already secured.
Can the Packers still win the NFC North?
Yes. The Packers can win the NFC North if they earn victories over the Baltimore Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings, and if the Chicago Bears also lose both of their remaining games against the 49ers and the Lions.
