NFC North Week 17 power rankings: Packers make late surge

The Packers are making a late push for the playoffs and are rising in this week’s NFC North power rankings.

There are just two games left in the 2022 NFL season and while the NFC North division has already been wrapped up by the Minnesota Vikings, two other teams are keeping things interesting down the stretch. The Detroit Lions have been part of the playoff conversation for the last few weeks, but now the Green Bay Packers are making an improbable run as well.

With the entire division playing each other over the final two weeks, things are about to get interesting for three of the four teams. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bears, the only race they’re in is the one for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Here are the power rankings for the NFC North division heading into Week 17.
