If the 2023 NFL season ended before Week 15, the Packers and Buccaneers would be in the playoffs. The Packers would earn one of the NFC's three wild-card spots, while the Buccaneers would win the NFC South by virtue of tiebreakers over the Falcons and Saints.

But the season isn't over. There are still four weeks left before the postseason, and every win counts.

The Buccaneers are on a two-game winning streak but still don't have a winning record at 6-7. A victory over the Packers would push them above .500 for the first time since Week 4. Green Bay, also 6-7, needs a win to keep pace with Minnesota in the NFC North and perhaps make a run at the divisional title.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love has played better lately but is coming off a two-turnover performance in a close loss on the road against the Giants. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, meanwhile, has gone 3-1 in the past four games and has thrown seven touchdowns with only two interceptions in that span.

Defensively, neither side has been consistent this year. The Packers have been a bit better with the 11th-stingiest scoring defense, but Green Bay gives up the 19th-most yards. The Buccaneers are similar defensively.

Here's what you need to know about Sunday's Week 15 clash between the Packers and Buccaneers, including the broadcast information and start time.
