Green Bay locked up the final NFC playoff spot in Sunday's late afternoon window with a win over the Chicago Bears.
The Packers secured the No. 7 seed and eliminated the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints, who both needed wins and help from elsewhere to get into the seven-team field.
Matt Lafleur's team remained behind the Los Angeles Rams in the seeding because Carson Wentz beat Sam Darnold in a battle of backup quarterbacks between the Rams and San Francisco 49ers.
Los Angeles' win set up Matthew Stafford's return to Detroit in the Lions' first home playoff game in 30 years.
Green Bay is matched up with the Dallas Cowboys in a clash of two of the NFL's most legendary franchises.
Dallas secured the NFC East title with a victory over the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys received help that they did not need from the New York Giants, who defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia visits NFC South champion Tampa Bay in the No. 4-versus-No. 5 matchup on wild-card weekend.
The NFC playoff match is still simple.
The Packers must beat the Bears at home to earn the third and final wild-card berth.
The New Orleans Saints enter the late window as the No. 7 seed, but they will be eliminated with either a Green Bay win or a Seattle Seahawks victory.
Seattle must beat the Arizona Cardinals and have the Packers stumble at home to land a playoff spot.
The NFC East winner, whether it be Dallas or Philadelphia, will be the No. 2 seed and that would drop the Lions to the No. 3 seed.
The Los Angeles Rams could fall from No. 6 to No. 7 if the Packers beat the Bears. That would take away the possibility of Matthew Stafford returning to Detroit for a playoff game.
Tampa Bay locked into the No. 4 spot with an ugly 9-0 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
The Buccaneers will host the second-place team from the NFC East in the Wild Card Round.
