Did the Packers make the 2024 NFL playoffs? Yes, and here’s who they’ll face in wild-card round.

The Green Bay Packers (11-6) clinched an NFC postseason berth two weeks ago with a victory over the New Orleans Saints, but it took until the final Sunday of the NFL season to learn their opponent.

After losing on a last-second field goal to the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field, the Packers remained the No. 7 seed. Green Bay will travel to Philadelphia next week to face the Eagles (14-3). It’s the second straight wild-card entry for the Packers with Jordan Love at quarterback

But will Love be available? He injured his right elbow in the first half of the game against the Bears and did not return.

The Packers will look to avenge a 34-29 loss to the Eagles, in the season opener in São Paulo, Brazil. The Eagles are the NFC East champions and No. 2 seed in the conference. Running back Saquon Barkley has rushed for over 2,000 yards and is an MVP candidate, but he did not play in a Week 18 win over the New York Giants.

Even if the Packers had won Sunday’s game, Washington’s victory over the Dallas Cowboys locked Green Bay into the seventh position in the bracket due to conference record.

Dates and times for the wild-card round of the playoffs will be announced Sunday night.
