Only a few weeks remain before the end of the NFL regular season, and every team is looking to rack up crucial wins to secure a coveted playoff spot. One of those teams are the Green Bay Packers, who face a tough challenge against the Denver Broncos. Securing a victory in Week 15 will be key.
Jordan Love has played a crucial role for his team, which currently enjoys leadership of the NFC North with a 9-3-1 record ahead of todayâs game at Empower Field Stadium. With the Bears and Lions breathing down their necks, a slip at this point could be extremely risky for the Packers.
Winning could become quite an ordeal, as they will face none other than Bo Nixâs Broncos, one of the seasonâs breakout teams and one of the two contenders, alongside the Patriots, to claim the top seed in the AFC.
What happens if the Packers lose to the Broncos today?
If the Green Bay Packers lose to the Denver Broncos today, they would suffer their fourth loss of the season, putting their first-place position in the division at serious risk depending on the result of the Chicago Bears.
