Quick Facts Green Bay Packers season, Owner ...

For the first time since 2004, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not on the roster, as he was traded to the New York Jets on April 26.[2] Rodgers, who had been the starter since 2008, won four NFL MVPs, led the team to five NFC Championship appearances, and won Super Bowl XLV. This is the first season with Jordan Love as the starting quarterback, who was picked in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft.[3] Also, for the first time since 2006, longtime kicker Mason Crosby was not on the roster as he was not re-signed in the offseason.

Despite struggling in the first half of the season with a 3–6 record, the Packers would go 6–2 in their final eight games, improving on their 8–9 record from the previous season and clinching the final playoff berth, winning a three-way conference record and strength of victory tiebreaker with the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks for the No. 7 seed, becoming the youngest team to make the playoffs since the NFL expanded to 16 games in 1978.

In the Wild Card round, the Packers became the first 7-seed to win a playoff game when they defeated the 2-seed Dallas Cowboys 48–32, giving the Packers their first playoff win without Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers since 1982 and 2007.[4][5][6][7][8] They eventually lost to the eventual NFC champion San Francisco 49ers 24–21 in the Divisional round, making this the fifth time in 11 years that the 49ers ended the Packers postseason run.[9]
