REPORT: Packers have 3 different ways to clinch playoff berth in Week 16

The Green Bay Packers (10-4) have a few different paths to clinching a playoff berth in Week 16 of the 2024 season, including one direct path.

With a win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night this week, the Packers will clinch. It’s even possible the playoff spot will be clinched before the Packers kick off on Monday night, too.

Per the NFL, here are the three different clinching scenarios for the Packers this week:

1. Packers win or tie
2. Falcons loss or tie AND Rams loss or tie
3. Falcons loss or tie AND Seahawks loss or tie

The Falcons host the New York Giants, the Rams go on the road to play the New York Jets and the Seattle Seahawks host the Minnesota Vikings.

The Packers, who currently hold the No. 6 overall seed in the NFC, are hosting the 5-9 Saints on Monday night.

New Orleans is riddled with injuries and are expected to be without quarterback Derek Carr to end a lost season.

The Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings have all clinched playoff berths. The Packers and Washington Commanders can join them this week.

The Eagles can also clinch the NFC East title with a win at the Commanders.

The Packers still have a narrow path to winning the NFC North, but both the Lions and Vikings would have to lose this week.

The Lions go to Chicago to play the Bears.
