The Green Bay Packers are one of the youngest teams in the NFL, but they continue to be one of the best, demonstrating that on both sides of the ball during their dominant "Monday Night Football" win over the New Orleans Saints.

From start to finish, the Packers handled their business, securing a 34-0 victory. After scoring on their very first drive, they never looked back, officially recording the first shutout of the 2024 NFL season with just two weeks left in the regular season.
Following the win, both the NFL and the Packers made a major announcement, as the franchise officially clinched an NFC playoff berth with the victory over the Saints, improving to 11-4 after a 2-2 start to the season.

After an early-season injury to star quarterback Jordan Love, the Packers' season was uncertain. However, backup Malik Willis stepped in and held down the fort for several weeks. Once Love returned, he quickly regained his form and has played like one of the best quarterbacks in the league during the second half of the season.
While Green Bay currently sits in third place in the NFC North, they head into a crucial Week 17 showdown against the second-place Minnesota Vikings, who are 13-2 and vying for the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.
The Vikings are in a tight race with the Detroit Lions, who are also 13-2 and currently leading the division, with Minnesota hot on their heels and Green Bay a couple games back.
All three teams have now clinched playoff berths, and Green Bay is a team that no one wants to face in the first round, given their talent on both sides of the ball.
