Green Bay, Wisconsin

Packers 38 - Vikings 25

The Packers defeated the Vikings to win their fifth straight game and set up an NFC North showdown in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions for the division crown.

Led by another MVP performance by Aaron Rodgers, the offense was clicking on all cylinders.  Rodgers threw for 347 yards and four touchdowns.  Rodgers also ran for a touchdown.  Jordy Nelson was unstoppable as he caught nine passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns.


The Vikings played well, but not well enough, as they were fighting for their season.  With the Packers win, the Vikings were eliminated from playoff consideration.


With the win, the Packers have set up a showdown in Detroit in Week 17.  The winner will win the NFC North division title.

Rodgers, Nelson save the day

Week 15
December 18, 2016 - 12 p.m. - FOX
Soldier Field
Chicago, Illinois

Packers 30 - Bears 27

Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson saved the day.

With under a minute remaining and the game tied, Rodgers connected with Nelson for 60 yards to put the Packers in field goal range for Mason Crosby to kick a game-winning field goal at the buzzer in Chicago.


The win extends the winning streak to four.  Currently, the Packers now hold the 6th seed in the NFC playoffs.  With a Detroit loss to the New York Giants, the Packers now control their own destiny.  Win the next two games and they will win the NFC North division.  Wild Card spot is also a possibility, but unlikely.

Ty Montgomery had a monster game (as a running back). Ty rushed for 162 yards on 16 carries and had two touchdowns.  Montgomery is getting better each week, which is very encouraging.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had a nice game as well as he intercepted Bears quarterback Matt Barkley twice in the third quarter.

Packers 38 - Seahawks 10

The Packers dominated the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field to extend their winning streak to three games. The Packers improved their record to 7-6 on the season and kept pace in the NFC playoff picture.

Another small dose of revenge against the Seahawks after the 2014 playoff game.  The Packers crushed the Seahawks.  Aaron Rodgers threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns.  Rodgers' continued to play with a banged up hamstring and reportedly hurt his calf during the game.  Despite the injuries, QB1 was lights out against the number one defense in the NFL.  The Packers got the game off and running as Rodgers' connected with Davante Adams for a 66-yard touchdown on the third play of the game.  Adams finished the day with 104 receiving yards.  Jordy Nelson had 41 receiving yards and caught two touchdowns.


The story of the game goes to the defense.  The Packers intercepted Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson five times.  That's right, FIVE times (Burnett, Randall (2), Rollins, Hyde).  Seattle finished the game with a total of six turnovers.  Wilson was also sacked three times.


Packers defeat Texans in the snow

Week 13

Lambeau Field
Green Bay, Wisconsin

Packers 21 - Texans 13

The Packers do just enough to beat the Houston Texans at snowy Lambeau Field to keep their playoff hopes alive.  The snowy conditions neutralized the field and made it difficult to execute.  With the win, the Packers have evened their record at 6-6, however, remain two games behind the Detroit Lions in the division.  In the Wild Card race, the Packers are only one game behind the Tampa Bay Bucs, however, there is a lot of teams in the hunt.

FedEx Field
Landover, Maryland

Packers 24 - Redskins 42

The Packers defense continued their horrific stretch of performance.  For the second straight week, the Packers gave up 40+ points.  A laundry list of injuries and lack of talent crushing the team's chances of being successful this year.  Sometimes, it's just not your year.  2016 is not the Packers year.

This loss marks the fourth consecutive loss for the Packers.  This is the first time the team has lost four in a row since 2008.

In a game where points were not hard to come by, the team with the ball last was bound to win.  In this case, the Atlanta Falcons.  The Falcons' Matt Ryan connected with Mohamed Sanu for the go-ahead touchdown with 31 seconds left.  And that was all she wrote.

Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdowns, but to some names you might not recognize.  Rodgers connected with Jordy Nelson, Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis, and Jeff Janis for touchdowns.

Lambeau Field
Green Bay, Wisconsin

Packers 26 - Bears 10

Things did not look good at halftime as the Packers led the Bears 6-3.  And after an early 3rd quarter fumble by Aaron Rodgers recovered by the Bears in the end zone, the Bears led 10-6.  The Packers were struggling against a bad Bears team.

Luckily, the Packers got a spark in the second half and closed out the Bears.  Rodgers completed 39 passes, a new franchise record.  Rodgers also threw for 326 passing yards and three touchdowns.  Davante Adams had a solid game with 13 receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

Rodgers' struggles continue against Cowboys

Week 6
October 16, 2016 - 3:25 p.m. - FOX
Lambeau Field
Green Bay, Wisconsin

Packers 16 - Cowboys 30

The Packers offensive struggles, headlined by Aaron Rodgers, have hit near rock bottom.  The Cowboys with a weak secondary shut down the Packers offense.  Aaron Rodgers continued with poor accuracy and decision making.  QB1 is really in a funk right now.  An interception thrown, that was more like a Brett Favre pick, to go along with a fumble lost on the 5-yard line.  Rodgers needs to work through this funk quickly if the Packers want a shot at the playoffs this year.  Jordy Nelson and Ty Montgomery added a fumble of their own.  Injuries to Eddie Lacy and James Starks will not help the offensive problems going forward.

Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott was very impressive.  The quarterback handled himself very well in his first start at Lambeau Field.  The Packers did intercept Prescott, the first interception of his career.

Brett Favre was honored at halftime with his name unveiled in the bowl at Lambeau Field along side the rest of the Packers in the Pro Football Hall of Hame.
