2023 Green Bay Packers Season

The 2023 season is 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, long–time 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.
