The Green Bay Packers got all the help they needed on Sunday so that they can make the playoffs. They may have gotten one more assist from the football team.
The Packers will play the Lions at Lambeau Field in the final game of the season.
If the Packers beat the Lions, they'll get the last wild-card spot in the playoffs. The Los Angeles Rams need to lose to the Seattle Seahawks. The game will be played at 4 pm. If the Lions lose to the Packers, they will have nothing to play for against the Packers, who would knock the Seahawks out of the playoffs.

The final schedule was announced by the league as Packers coach Matt LaFleur started his news conference.
LaFleur said that playing in prime time doesn't matter. The environment in Lambeau Field at night is different than any other place. Hopefully our fans show up and support us Don't sell your tickets to the fans.
Dan Campbell said he wasn't worried about the time of the kick off.
Campbell said that he could not worry about that. We don't need to worry about it. It has to be a win or a loss for us. Either we're playing to get in or we're playing to be the one who gets in. Either way we won. PeteCarroll was going to speak to reporters later Monday.
The scheduling process was not immediately responded to by an NFL spokesman.
The final wild-card spot in the AFC will be determined on Sunday with the three teams vying for the playoff berths all playing at 1 p.m. There is an hour and a half later.
With a win at the Buffalo Bills, the Pats will be assured of a spot in the playoffs, as well as losses by the Dolphins and Pittsburgh and a victory by the Jacksonville Jaguars. If the Dolphins win against the Jets, they will make the playoffs. If the Dolphins lose and the Pats lose, the Steelers will be in the driver's seat.
If the Jags lose on Saturday night and the other teams lose, Jacksonville will be in the playoffs.
There is only one thing left to be decided in the Week 18 schedule, which is whether the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengal will start at 1 p.m. or not. The time is on Sunday. It depends on the outcome of the game between the two teams. The game will be played in the later window if the Bills win and the Ravens win. The game at Cincinnati on Sunday will start at 1 p.m. if the Bengals win Monday night.
