The Green Bay Packers lost to the Tennessee Titans in Week 11 and are now 4-7 entering Week 12.
After six losses in the last seven games, the situation is dire for Matt LaFleur’s team. The Packers are 12th in the NFC and becoming a big long shot to make the postseason, even in a top-heavy conference littered with parity.

FiveThirtyEight: 6 percent
Football Outsiders: 8.6 percent
