The Green Bay Packers secured their second consecutive playoff berth with a dominant 34-0 shutout against the Los Angeles Chargers. The victory, however, was overshadowed by an injury to wide receiver Romeo Watson who left the game in the second quarter with a knee issue.

Watson actually returned to play seven more snaps, including four in the third quarter, before he left the game for good. He remained on the Packers' sideline for the rest of the game. It was their first shutout since the 2021 season and they clinched a playoff spot with two games still to play. Although the Packers can't win the NFC North, they can still get the top wild-card seed. They close with two division games -- at Minnesota on Sunday and home against the Bears in Week 18.
