Tonight on Sunday Night Football, it’s the Green Bay Packers visiting the Minnesota Vikings in a battle of 7-8 teams clinging to their playoff hopes. The two NFC North squads sit behind the Rams and Seahawks for a Wild Card spot, and a loss would be a close to insurmountable blow for either team’s postseason ambitions. The Packers got some good news with week — wide receiver Jayden Reed is likely to be available Sunday night after missing Week 16 with chest and toe injuries. That’s particularly helpful with fellow WR Christian Watson doubtful with an ongoing hamstring issue. That matchup ends the New Year’s Eve slate, with coverage beginning at 7pm ET on NBC and Peacock.
