A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Sunday, December 9.

Good morning and welcome to the gameday edition of the Packers News Report. It’s rare the Green Bay Packers enter a December game with the Atlanta Falcons that doesn’t mean much for either team. But it’s been a strange season for two teams that were considered Super Bowl contenders in August.

Are you hoping Green Bay wins out and gets a bit of luck to make the playoffs? Or at the very least just finishes the year strong. Or are you hoping for four straight defeats and potentially a top-five draft pick? I can see an argument for both sides.
