The Green Bay Packers have already clinched a playoff berth, but they still have a lot to play for.
On Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17, they'll be seeking higher seeding while relying on a backup QB.
Malik Willis is in, and Jordan Love is out.

Why is Malik Willis playing QB, not Jordan Love?
Willis is playing because Love is out due to injury.
Love was concussed a week ago, and he didn't practice all week, and he was officially ruled out by the end of the practice week.
There was no suspense about Love on Saturday before the game, because he'd already been ruled out.
Willis was actually questionable, too, with an illness, but he's active and set to start.
He was solid in relief of Love a week ago. This is his contract year, so Willis has a chance to earn himself some money this offseason with a strong performance.
Willis will be backed up here by Clayton Tune, who was elevated from the practice squad.
