The Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing at Lambeau Field in the cold and the snow on Sunday in Week 16 and both teams need this win to stay alive in the playoffs and the game is on the radio from the NFL.com website and the matchup has Aaron Rodgers out and Matt Flynn starting again and the team will be looking to continue thier strong play after winning over the Dallas Cowboys last week.
The Steelers come into the game after winning over the Bengals and the team now has the chance to try and at least stay alive in the playoffs after the Dolphins lost and now they have a matchup next with the Browns, while the Packers are trying to stay alive in the NFC North division and they need the Giants and Eagles to come through against the Lions and the Bears tonight. The Packers next play against the Bears on the road at Soldier Field and that could have huge playoff implications and in the AFC if the Chargers lose that would open things up as well. It remains to be seen whether Aaron Rodgers would play if the team remains in the mix next week and the Seattle Seahawks are looking very strong once again and the Packers could sneak into the playoffs depending on how things shake out this week.

The Steelers have been hit on defense by injuries and here is more from Reuters.com on the team.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley has been placed on season-ending injured reserve with a right calf injury, the National Football League club, which is battling to keep faint playoff hopes alive, said on Tuesday.
Woodley, 29, injured his right calf on the opening defensive series of Sunday's 30-20 win against the Cincinnati Bengals in his return to the lineup after missing three games with an injury to his left calf.
Pittsburgh (6-8) travels to Green Bay to play the Packers (7-6-1) on Sunday.
Jason Worilds has shined in Woodley's absence, generating four sacks, 18 hits and nine hurries since moving to left outside linebacker in mid-November.
Woodley, a 2009 Pro Bowler, finished his seventh NFL season with five sacks and 24 hurries in 11 games. (Reuters)
