The Green Bay Packers kept their playoff hopes alive with a 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football.

However, Aaron Rodgers and Co. will need to step up in their final three games of the regular season. The Packers are currently third in the NFC North standings, behind the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions, with a record of six wins and eight defeats.

The Packers currently have less than 12% chance of making it to the playoffs this season. The first step in order to make the playoffs will be to win all of their remaining games, which is not going to be an easy task.

Green Bay will have to rely on a Wild Card entry into the postseason. They may be unable to jump above the Detroit Lions, who are second in the division with a 7-7 record. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have already sealed the divisional title and a playoff spot.

Winning all of their games will put the Packers at 9-8 for the season. They will battle with the Seattle Seahawks, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders for a Wild Card spot in the NFC. At the moment, the Seahawks are at 7-7, the Giants are 8-5-1 and the Commanders are 7-6-1.

Green Bay will be hoping that the Lions don't win more than one of their remaining three games. They will also be rooting for the Seahawks to lose at least one more game so they can then look to edge them with a better overall record against teams in the NFC. The Packers will also need the Giants to lose all their remaining games and the Commanders to lose at least two of their remaining three games. If all these scenarios play out, the Packers will head to the postseason as a wildcard team.

The Green Bay Packers will travel to the Hard Rock Stadium to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. They then have two home games to complete their regular season campaign. Green Bay will face off against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in Week 17 and Week 18, respectively.

While there is no easy way to make it to the playoffs from here, the Packers will need to win every game to stand a chance of making it to the postseason. They will need Aaron Rodgers to put on his green cape one more time in order to push for a playoff berth.
