Packers clinch NFC North title with win over Lions

The Green Bay Packers are the champions of the NFC North in 2020.

For the second consecutive season, the Green Bay Packers can celebrate an NFC North championship in a division rival’s stadium.

The Packers beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Ford Field, clinching the NFC North title in 2020.

The Packers’ win over the Lions combined with the Minnesota Vikings’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier on Sunday handed Matt LaFleur’s team the title.

The Packers have won the NFC North seven times in the last 10 years.

Last season, the Packers clinched the division with a primetime win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 16.

Now that the division title and a playoff are clinched, the Packers can focus on chasing the No. 1 seed in the NFC over the final three games of 2020.

The Packers have advanced to the NFC Championship Game each of the last three times they won the division (2014, 2016, 2019) but lost all three games, all on the road.
