The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.[1] They are members of the Northern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) and play their home games at Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin.[2][3] Since entering the NFL, the Packers have won 13 championships (the most in NFL history), including nine NFL Championships prior to 1966 and four Super Bowls, which is inclusive of two additional NFL Championships won during the AFL–NFL merger, since then. They have captured 21 divisional titles, 9 conference championships, and been to the playoffs 36 times.[4] In NFL history, the Packers have recorded the most regular season victories (799) and the most overall victories (836) of any team, and are tied with the New England Patriots for the second most playoff wins (37).[5]
The franchise has experienced three major periods of continued success in their history. The first period of success came under the leadership of head coach Curly Lambeau (1929–1944), when the Packers were named NFL Champions six times.[6] This period saw the Packers become the first team to win three straight championships (1929–1931).[7] The second period of success was between 1960 and 1967 under head coach Vince Lombardi, during which the Packers won five NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowls.[8] The Packers also won three consecutive NFL Championships for the second time in franchise history (1965–1967).[7] The most recent period of success ranges from 1993 to the present under the leadership of head coaches Mike McCarthy and Matt LaFleur, where the franchise has reached the playoffs 23 times, with three Super Bowl appearances, winning two in 1996 and 2010. This period included the 2011 season, where the team won 15 games, the most the Packers have won in a single season.[4]
The Packers have also experienced periods of extended failure in their history. The two most notable times were from (1945–1958), where the franchise never placed higher than 3rd in the league standings and recorded the worst record of any Packers team, going 1–10–1 in 1958.[4] The second period of continued failure occurred between (1968–1991), where the club only went to the playoffs twice, and recorded only six winning seasons.[9]
