Following the Green Bay Packers' 34-26 Week 15 defeat to the Denver Broncos—detailed in prior coverage—the team's playoff hopes have further dimmed with additional injuries compounding the losses of Micah Parsons (torn ACL) and Christian Watson. Green Bay has dropped to No. 10 in power rankings and seventh in NFC standings, while Denver eyes the AFC's top seed.
The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Detroit for a Week 16 clash against the Lions, both teams holding 8-6 records. Pittsburgh aims to solidify its AFC North lead after recent victories over the Ravens and Dolphins, while the Lions desperately need a win to stay alive in the NFC playoff race. A Steelers victory combined with a Ravens loss could position Pittsburgh to clinch the division in Week 17.
