The Baltimore Ravens (7-8) travel to face the Green Bay Packers (9-5-1) in a Week 17 matchup on Saturday night, with the Ravens looking to play spoiler and build momentum for 2026 after a disappointing season, while the Packers aim to fine-tune for a potential playoff run in the NFC North race. Baltimore has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, but their defense remains stout, while Green Bay’s balanced attack and home-field advantage at Lambeau could make this a chilly, defensive battle. Below is a fully detailed preview covering all aspects.
Venue Location
Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin. This historic outdoor stadium, home to the Green Bay Packers, seats approximately 81,441 fans and features a natural grass surface, known for its cold-weather challenges in late-season games.
Kickoff Is set for 8:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. CT).
Broadcast: Peacock: Noah Eagle, Todd Blackledge, Kathryn Tappen, streamed exclusively on Peacock.
Westwood One: John Sadak, Derek Rackley
Weather Updates
Expect cold and potentially harsh conditions at Lambeau Field. Daytime highs will hover around +34°F, dropping to +28°F by kickoff, with a feels-like temperature in the low 20s due to wind chill. Precipitation chance stands at 15%, with possible light snow or flurries, and winds around 10 mph. UV index is 0, with cloudy skies likely—conditions favor ball security and could limit passing games, benefiting run-heavy strategies. Bundle up for fans, as Green Bay’s December averages 21-28°F with 3-8 days of precipitation.
Injury Report
Both teams are managing key injuries as the season winds down, with the Ravens hit harder by absences in the trenches and secondary, potentially forcing adjustments against Green Bay’s offense.
Baltimore Ravens: Guard Vorhees is day-to-day with a foot injury. Linebacker Adisa Isaac (elbow) is on IR. Linebacker Jay Higgins (knee) is on IR. Quarterback Lamar Jackson dealt with a back contusion recently but is expected to play, though he’s been limited in practice. Linebacker Jake Hansen (chest) is DNP. Defensive end Dylan Horton (knee) is DNP. These issues could strain the offensive line and pass defense.
Green Bay Packers: Quarterback Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) is limited but expected to practice and play. Wide receiver Bo Melton (illness) is DNP. Tight end Josh Whyle (concussion) is questionable. Safety Evan Williams (concussion) is questionable. The Packers are relatively healthy but monitor Love’s status for any setbacks in the cold.
Player Matchups
This inter-conference clash could turn on the quarterback duel and trench battles, with Baltimore’s run game testing Green Bay’s front in the cold.
BAL QB Lamar Jackson vs. GB S Xavier McKinney: Jackson’s dual-threat ability (if fully cleared from back issue) faces McKinney’s ball-hawking (interception leader for Packers)—could limit Jackson’s scrambles and force turnovers.
GB QB Jordan Love vs. BAL LB Roquan Smith: Love’s efficiency (despite concussion protocol) tests Smith’s tackling in the middle—key if Hansen sits, as Smith anchors a depleted front.
BAL RB Derrick Henry vs. GB DL Kenny Clark: Henry’s power run (top rusher in NFL) challenges Clark’s interior presence—cold weather favors Henry’s style, but Clark must stuff gaps.
GB WR Jayden Reed vs. BAL CB Marlon Humphrey: Reed’s speed exploits Humphrey in coverage—could produce big plays if Love is protected.
BAL WR Zay Flowers vs. GB CB Jaire Alexander: Flowers’ route-running vs. Alexander’s man skills—mismatch potential if Alexander shadows.
These matchups slightly favor the Packers’ secondary if healthy, but Jackson’s mobility in cold could shift dynamics.
