The Green Bay Packers are moving on up.
Their thrilling 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears on Dec. 7 at Lambeau Field not only propelled them into first place in the NFC North but also into the No. 2 seed in the conference standings.
The Packers (9-3-1), which entered the game as the sixth seed, take a four-game winning streak into their next contest against the Denver Broncos with four games left in the regular season.
Green Bay's victory over their longest rival also knocked the Bears down a peg. Chicago, which dropped to 9-4, had entered the game as the top seed in the NFC and in first in the division. But the loss pushed them out of both spots in a continued crowded NFC.
Here's what to know about the Packers' playoff chances, next game, standings, schedule and more.
