2023 Green Bay Packers season

The 2023 season was the Green Bay Packers' 103rd in the National Football League (NFL), their 105th overall, their sixth under the leadership of general manager Brian Gutekunst and their fifth under head coach Matt LaFleur.

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. 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. 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. 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.

The Packers trailed the game 9–0 and 16–3, but took a 17–16 lead in the fourth quarter. However, the Packers lost 19–17 after Jordan Love threw a interception to drop to 2–4, the first time since the 2006 season.

This was the first time the Packers offense has scored 20 points or fewer in four straight games since the 2005 season (that streak would last for six straight games).

The Packers have been outscored in their last four first halves, 63–6. And they have been held to three points, or fewer, in the first half of four straight games for the first time since the 1988 season (that streak would also last for six straight games).

Week 12: at Detroit Lions

With the win, the Packers improved to 5–6. This was the first Packers victory against the Lions since Week 2 of the 2021 season. This was also the first Packers victory on Thanksgiving since the 2011 season, also against the Lions.

Week 16: at Carolina Panthers
Jordan Love threw for 219 yards, 2 touchdowns, and led a drive that set up a Anders Carlson field goal with 19 seconds left. However, the Packers defense struggled again as they allowed the Carolina Panthers to erase a 14-point deficit to tie the game at 30–30, along with Bryce Young throwing for 312 yards and 2 touchdowns, as well as allowing the Panthers to march 44 yards in 19 seconds before failing to spike the ball in time for the game-tying field goal, sealing the win for the Packers.

Week 18: vs. Chicago Bears
For the second consecutive year, the Packers faced a win-and-in game against a divisional rival in order to make the playoffs (they lost 20–16 against the Lions). The Packers avenged last year by beating the Bears 17–9 as Jordan Love threw for 316 yards and Wicks caught 2 touchdowns during the game. This was also the Packers 10th straight win over the Bears since 2018. With the win, the Packers became the youngest team to make the playoffs since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.
