The Green Bay Packers suffered a brutal Week 14 loss and cut two players while signing one.
The Green Bay Packers had to make some roster changes as they got ready for Week 15 in an attempt to get back on the winning track after a very disappointing loss to the New York Giants in Week 14.
The 53-man roster spot became available on Tuesday when the Packers waived cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly from the active roster. It is noteworthy that last week marked the return of Eric Stokes to practice after he was placed on the injured reserve in late October. Given that Green Bay cut a cornerback, it’s probable that the squad is getting ready for Stokes’ 24-year-old return.

Significant changes occurred in the NFC playoff landscape in Week 14. There were many thrilling games this week, including the New York Giants shocking the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears upsetting the Detroit Lions. Though not all of these games had an impact on the standings, going into Week 15, there are two new division leaders and a new No. 1 seed.

The wildcard spots are essentially up for grabs, much like in the AFC. Whichever of the top two NFC East teams doesn’t win the division will probably get the No. 5 seed.

Although the Vikings lead the other wildcard contenders by one game, Minnesota may find it difficult to maintain their lead due to their quarterback situation. The Packers, meanwhile, are barely hanging on to the seventh seed. During their three-game winning streak, they appeared certain to secure a Wild Card berth, but their loss to the Giants jeopardizes that.
is conference after only one loss to an NFC team.
For the 49ers, everything has gone according to plan since their bye week. They have defeated the Philadelphia Eagles and the Seattle Seahawks twice in their last five games. Because the Cowboys defeated the Eagles this past weekend, the 49ers were able to lock up a postseason spot and take command of their own destiny. They will have home field advantage and a first-round bye in the playoffs if they prevail. Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens games will be the hardest for them the rest of the season. Losing one could hurt their chances of being the top seed.
Following their victory over the Eagles in Week 14, the Cowboys saw one of the largest swings in the playoff standings. With the victory, Dallas shot up to the top of the NFC East and moved up from the No. 5 to the No. 2 seed. Naturally, Dallas would prefer to host a minimum of one playoff game in January. Nevertheless, with games against the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and Detroit Lions left, holding the division lead won’t be simple.
