The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions will kick off at 3:25 p.m. CST Sunday at Lambeau Field on FOX.
Both teams clinched playoff berths this weekend with wins and a loss by the Philadelphia Eagles. But there will still be plenty to play for in Week 17.
Green Bay and Detroit will meet with the NFC North Division title on the line, as well as playoff seeding and a potential first-round bye.
The regular-season finale between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, who will be playing for the AFC North Division title, will be the Sunday Night Football game on NBC.

I would think that might cause problems for the fans that have 4pm to 7pm flights out of Austin Straubel.

I would think a lot of fans leave Lambeau after a game and go straight to the airport.

That is not the most convenient airport from which to connect. It's cheaper and easier to drive down to Milwaukee and fly out there. So many fans stick around because of the traffic jam going in 3 directions. If you are an out of towner going to a game, especially a later one, stay the night. After last year's playoff game Ringo was so cold and frozen that it took him a week to thaw out.

Afte the loss to San Fran last January 5th, even the drive back down to Chicago the following morning in daylight was harrowing.    Zero degrees..........blowing snow..........desolate I-43 South.   The Stadium View or Distillery after the game usually works out just fine.   GO PACK GO!!
