The2022 season was theGreen Bay Packers' 102nd in theNational Football League (NFL), their 104th overall and fourth underhead coachMatt LaFleur.
The team became the winningest franchise in NFL history when it beat theChicago Bears in Week 13, who held the record at every season's end since 1921 and were tied with the Packers for a three-week stretch leading up to the game.[1]
After a 3–1 start, the Packers suffered a collapse, going into a five-game losing streak (their longest since2008) in the process, falling to a 3–6 record. After falling to 4–8, they rallied to win four straight games and remain in the playoff hunt, but were eliminated from playoff contention when they lost the last game of the season to thedivision rivalDetroit Lions, ensuring the team their first losing season and non–playoff appearance since 2018. This was the Packers' last season with quarterbackAaron Rodgers before he was traded to theNew York Jets in April 2023.[2]
