The Green Bay Packers (10-3) can officially clinch the NFC North title with a win over the reeling Baltimore Ravens (8-5) on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Packers, now the top seed in the NFC, have won two games in a row, while the Ravens have lost two in a row but remain the leaders in the AFC North.

The Packers haven’t played in Baltimore since beating the Ravens 19-17 in 2013. The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 23-0 win for the Ravens at Lambeau Field in 2017 with Aaron Rodgers out.

The Ravens have won 13 straight games against NFC teams, including all three games against the NFC North so far in 2021. The Packers won both previous games against the AFC North this year, beating the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

One of the big storylines of the week is the health status of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who sprained his ankle last week. Tyler Huntley would start if Jackson can’t go.

In other MVP quarterback news, Rodgers has thrown 10 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his last three games and now leads the NFL in passer rating.

Here’s a quick preview of the matchup between Matt LaFleur’s Packers and John Harbaugh’s Ravens:
