Saints vs. Packers score, live updates: Green Bay can secure a playoff spot with a Monday Night Football win over New Orleans

Last season, the Green Bay Packers were a wild-card team and nearly earned a divisional round win over the 49ers in San Francisco that would have put Jordan Love and Co. in an NFC title game with the Detroit Lions. After a series of losses to the Super Bowl favorite Lions, as well as the Vikings and Eagles, Green Bay finds itself in a familiar position this season – searching for a wild-card spot and a chance to make some noise in the NFC in January . Although the Packers already have 10 wins, the game in the NFL’s best division wasn’t exactly pleasant with losses against these heavyweights, but the fact is that Green Bay is undefeated against the rest of the NFL.

That could be bad news for the Saints, who have come back down to earth with a thud after a good start to the year (remember when that team was averaging nearly 50 points per game after two weeks?). . Head coach Dennis Allen was fired last month, and with interim coach Darren Rizzi pulling the strings, New Orleans has its eye on next season. With aging starters at key positions and uncertainty about the future, it will be important for the players set to join the new regime next season to gain some momentum in the offseason.

The Packers can clinch a playoff spot with a win, while the Saints will look to play spoilsport in the Frozen Tundra with snow showers possible in Green Bay on Monday night.
