The Green Bay Packers enter their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, having clinched the NFC North division after a win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15.

Green Bay can earn the top overall seed with a win and a loss from the San Francisco 49ers, and they cannot fall further than the third seed even with a loss on Sunday.

Obviously, head coach Matt LaFleur will start all the regulars given his team has a chance to clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, and the Packers have an excellent opportunity to make one final statement against a lackluster Lions squad.

Here are three burning questions surrounding this Green Bay team in advance of Week 16:

3. Can they stop the run?

Green Bay's defensive unit was dominant through the first three weeks of the season. Still, a combination of injuries and an inability to stop the run created plenty of scoring opportunities for opponents in the middle of the season.

The defense has returned to form over the course of the last four weeks, and run stoppage has played a major role in their success. The Packers have given up more than 100 yards rushing just once in the last four weeks, and in turn, have allowed an average of just over 12 points per game.

Green Bay ranks fourth in interceptions, and they certainly have the playmaking capabilities in the defensive backfield. They also rank 13th in sacks.

The Packers can hound passing attacks. But will they be able to stop the run? They did so against the Vikings, but they need to continue to halt opposing ground games.

2. Is Aaron Jones the focal point of the offense?

Jones is finally thriving in a system that utilizes his ability as a runner and a pass-catcher. He has 19 total touchdowns and over 1,400 yards from scrimmage, and the Packers can deploy him in any number of formations.

Consider that Jones is averaging close to five yards per carry, but also 9.2 yards per catch on 47 total receptions. He can catch the ball in the flat or take screens to the house. He is also as dependable a between-the-tackles runner as there is in the NFL, and he has great burst getting through holes.

The Packers used to revolve around Aaron Rogers. But Jones is staking his claim as the most important player in the offense because he can do it all.

1. Does Rodgers have enough?

Jones might be in the midst of a breakout season, but there are still questions about Rodgers' weaponry.

Jimmy Graham and Mercedes Lewis are both banged up. Davante Adams is one of the best receivers in the league and has gone off in each of the last two weeks, but the results have generally been mixed since he returned from his turf toe injury.

With Adams likely to see additional coverage in the playoffs, can Marquez Valdez-Scantling reestablish himself as a threat out wide? Or are the Packers turning into a one-dimensional offense reliant on the running game?
