PACKERS WIN THE NFC NORTHThe Green Bay Packers finished the 2019 regular season with a 13-3 record, capturing the team’s first division title since 2016. uThe Packers finished with a 6-0 division record for just the second time

(2011) since the league went to a divisional format in 1967.uDating back to 2002 when the NFC North was formed, the Packers are

the only team to go undefeated in the division in a single regular season (2019, 2011).

uFrom 2011-19, the Packers were one of four NFL teams (Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City) to go undefeated in division games in two seasons.

uDating back to 1995, the Packers (13) have the second-most division titles in the NFL (New England, 19).

uThis was the sixth division title Green Bay has won with Aaron Rodgers as the starting quarterback.

BACK IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIPGreen Bay played in its eighth NFC title contest since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger and its first since 2016.uIt was the Packers’ third NFC Championship appearance since 2014

(2014, 2016), the most in the NFC over that span. No other NFC team has advanced to the conference title game more than once since 2014.

uGreen Bay has played six conference championships on the road since 1970, tied for the third most in the NFL over that span (Dallas Cowboys, nine / New England Patriots, seven).

uIt was just the second time the Packers had been a part of a postseason game featuring two teams that both won 13-plus regular-season games. The other instance was at the 49ers in the 1997 NFC Championship when both teams posted 13-3 regular-season records.

LAFLEUR ERA OFF TO A GOOD STARTPackers Head Coach Matt LaFleur led his team to a 13-3 record, a divi-sion title and the No. 2 seed in the NFC in his first season.uLaFleur became the first coach in franchise history to lead his team to

the postseason in his first season. He also is the first head coach in team history to lead the Packers to a division title in his first season.

uLaFleur led the biggest one-year win improvement in franchise history (plus-seven wins).

uDating back to 1970, LaFleur joined Mike McCarthy as the only head coaches in franchise history to lead their teams to the NFC Championship game in their first appearance in the postseason.

uLaFleur became the first head coach to reach a conference champion-ship in his first season since Jim Harbaugh led San Francisco to the NFC Championship game in 2011.

uLaFleur joined Jim Caldwell and Steve Mariucci as the only head coaches with 13-plus wins to go undefeated in their division in their first season.

uLaFleur tied for the third-most regular-season wins by an NFL head coach in their first season.

uLaFelur finished with five more wins (including postseason) than any coach in franchise history in his first season.

DOUBLE-DIGIT-WIN REGULAR SEASONuGreen Bay finished with a 13-3 record, marking the first 13-win season

for the Packers since finishing 15-1 in 2011. uThe Packers recorded at least 13 wins during the regular season for the

sixth time in franchise history (15 in 2011 / 13 in 2019, 2007, 1997, 1996, and 1962).

uGreen Bay recorded at least 12 wins during the regular season for the 12th time in franchise history and 10 regular-season wins for the 30th time in franchise history.

uThe Packers have recorded 10 or more wins 17 times in the last 25 seasons (since 1995) after registering 10-plus victories just 13 times in the first 74 seasons the Packers were in the NFL (1921-94).

uIn Rodgers’ 12 seasons as starting quarterback (since 2008), the Packers have recorded 13-plus wins two times, 12-plus wins three times and 10-plus wins eight times.

uFrom 2008-19, the Packers’ eight seasons with 10-plus wins are the second most in the NFL behind the New England Patriots (12).

uDating back to 1978, this was only the second time (2011) that the NFC had three teams finish with 13-plus wins in a regular season. It was the fifth time (2017, 2011, 2007, 1999) that the NFL had four teams finish with 13-plus wins in the same season.

SCORING AT AN ALL-TIME LEVELuRB Aaron Jones registered a franchise-best 23 total touchdowns this

season (including the postseason).uWith four TDs in the 2019 playoffs, Jones tied WR Sterling Sharpe (1993)

for the most TDs in a single postseason in team history. uJones also joined WR Antonio Freeman (1997-98 postseasons) as the

only players in team history to have back-to-back two-TD games in the playoffs.

AWARDSuT David Bakhtiari and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were original

selections to the Pro Bowl in 2019 and WR Davante Adams, DL Kenny Clark and LB Za’Darius Smith were named to the Pro Bowl as injury replacements.

uIt was the most Pro Bowlers for the Packers since five were selected in 2015.

uBakhtiari earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl and his first original selection after being chosen as an injury replacement for Philadelphia Eagles T Jason Peters in 2016.

uBakhtiari was named second-team All-Pro by The Associated Press in 2019, marking the fourth year in a row he was named All-Pro by the AP (second team in 2016-17 and first team in 2018).

uBakhtiari was also named All-NFC by the Professsional Football Writers of America for the second consecutive season.

uFor Rodgers, it marked the eighth Pro Bowl selection of his career (2009, 2011-12, 2014-16, 2018-19). He has the second-most selec-tions by a Green Bay quarterback, trailing Brett Favre’s nine (1992-93, 1995-97, 2001-03, 2007), and is tied for the third-most selections by a Packer behind only Favre and T Forrest Gregg (nine).

uIt was Adams’ third straight trip to the Pro Bowl (2017-19), making him the first Packer WR to make three consecutive Pro Bowls since Sterling Sharpe (1992-94).

uClark and Smith each earned their first trip to the Pro Bowl. uClark joined Mike Daniels (2017), B.J. Raji (2011), Bob Brown (1972),

Henry Jordan (1960-61, 1963, 1966) and Dave Hanner (1953-54) as the only Packers defensive tackles to make the Pro Bowl.

uSmith was the first Green Bay linebacker to make the Pro Bowl since Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers in 2015.

uG Elgton Jenkins and S Darnell Savage were selected to the PFWA All-Rookie team. Dating back to 1974, it marks the seventh time and the first time since 2014 that Green Bay has had multiple players selected to the team. It is only the fourth time that the Packers have had an offensive player and a defensive player selected in the same year (1978, 2006, 2014).

DIVISION CHAMPSuIn 2019, the Packers clinched their 24th division title and first since

2016. uMatt LaFleur was the first head coach in team history to lead the

Packers to a division title in his first season. uIt was the sixth division title Green Bay has won with Aaron Rodgers

as the starting quarterback. uDating back to 1995, the Packers have the second-most division

titles in the NFL:

uGreen Bay joined Kansas City (6-0) as the only teams to be undefeated in division games during the 2019 regular season.

uFrom 2011-19, the Packers were one of four NFL teams (Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City) to go undefeated in division games in two seasons.

uGreen Bay allowed the third-fewest points in division games in the NFL in 2019:

uDating back to 2002 when the NFC North was formed, it marked the third time that the Packers gave up less than 100 points to division opponents in a single season (83 in 2010 and 90 in 2006).

uThe Packers finished No. 8 in the NFL in point differential in division games in 2019:

uThe Packers swept the regular-season series with the Bears for the 15th time in the last 26 years (since 1994) and the seventh time in the last 11 seasons.

uGreen Bay gave up a total of 16 points in two games to the Bears in 2019. Dating back to 1940, that was the seventh-fewest points the Packers allowed to Chicago in a single regular season and the fewest since giving up nine in two games in 1994 (according to pro-football-reference.com).

uIn 2019, Green Bay swept the regular-season series with Minnesota for the first time since 2014 and the seventh time in the last 18 years (since 2002).

uThe 42 points that the Packers allowed to the Vikings and Bears this season were the fewest in a season by Green Bay since 1994 (32).

uGreen Bay swept the regular-season series with Detroit for the first time since 2016 and for the 11th time in the last 20 seasons (since 2000).

uWith a Week 17 win at Detroit, the Packers became the third NFL team with 100-regular-season wins against one opponent (Chicago, 101 vs. Detroit and New York Giants, 102 vs. Washington).

uThe Packers scored more than 20 points in five division games during the 2019 season, tied for No. 3 in the NFL.

uRB Aaron Jones registered five rushing TDs against NFC North oppo-nents this year, the most by a Packer since Ahman Green in 2003 (six) and tied for No. 1 in the NFL in 2019:

uLB Za’Darius Smith led the team with 5.5 sacks against NFC North teams this season while DL Kenny Clark was No. 2 with 4.5 sacks and LB Preston Smith was No. 3 with 3.5 sacks. It was the first time since 2006 that the Packers had three players with 3.5-plus sacks in a season against NFC North teams (Aaron Kampman, Corey Williams, Cullen Jenkins).

uZ. Smith (No. 2), Clark (No. 3) and P. Smith (t-No. 5) made the Packers the only team to have multiple players rank in the top five in the NFL in sacks against the NFC North in 2019.

uAs a team, the Packers led the NFL with 18.0 sacks against the NFC North in 2019.

uDating back to 1978 when the NFL went to a 16-game schedule, it was just the ninth time and first since 2014 that the Packers lost one of fewer games that were decided by eight points or less.

uIt marked the highest winning percentage by Green Bay in regular-season games decided by eight points or less since 2002 (5-0, 1.000).

uGreen Bay tied for No. 1 in the NFL in winning percentage in games decided by three points or less in 2019 (Sportradar):

uIt was the first time since 2014 (2-0) that the Packers had a winning percentage above .500 in regular-season games decided by three points or less (Sportradar).

BIG-TIME PLAYOFF PERFORMANERSWR Davante Adams and RB Aaron Jones had outstanding perfor-mances during the 2019 postseason.uAdams recorded 17 receptions for 298 receiving yards (17.5 avg.) and

two touchdowns in the 2019 playoffs.uAdams joined Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (2008) as the only

two players in NFL history to have back-to-back games with eight-plus receptions, 130-plus receiving yards in a single postseason.

uAdams’ two 130-yard receiving games in the 2019 postseason tied for the most in a single postseason in league history with 10 other players.

uIn his first playoff action, Jones registered four total touchdowns, two in each game to join WR Antonio Freeman (1997-98 postseasons) as the only players in team history to have back-to-back two-TD games in the playoffs.

lar season was the best by Green Bay since 2010 (31:36).uGreen Bay had 28 players appear in all 16 games during the season,

the most in the NFL in 2019. For Green Bay, it tied the top mark posted by the team over the past 20 seasons (2000-19), matching the number of players in 2000 and 2014.

uThe Packers were one of five teams (San Francisco, Minnesota, New England, Pittsburgh) in 2019 that allowed fewer than 20 points per game and posted 40-plus sacks and 25-plus takeaways. It was the first time Green Bay did it since 2010.

BACK IN THE POSTSEASONuThe Green Bay Packers were back in the playoffs for the first time since

2016.uHead Coach Matt LaFleur became the first coach in franchise history

to lead his team to the postseason in his first season.uGreen Bay has now made the postseason 33 times, tied with the Dallas

Cowboys for No. 1 in league annals.

uIt was the franchise’s 20th appearance in the last 27 seasons (1993-2019).

uPrior to missing the playoffs in 2017-18, Green Bay made the postsea-son a franchise-record eight consecutive seasons:

uGreen Bay has played the third-most postseason games in league history:

uThe Packers have a 35-23 all-time record in the postseason, a .603 win-ning percentage that ranks No. 3 in the NFL:

uGreen Bay (35) is tied with Dallas for the third-most postseason wins in league history behind New England (37) and Pittsburgh (36).

HOW THEY HAVE FAREDSince the NFL went to a 12-team playoff format in 1990, the Packers have made postseason appearances as all six seeds. uIn 2019, the Packers were the No. 2 seed in the NFC for the fourth time

and for the first time since 2014.uA breakdown of the Packers’ playoff seeds, and their postseason record

as that seed, from 1990-2019:

GREEN BAY BEAT SEATTLE IN THE DIVISIONAL ROUNDuThe Packers defeated the Seahawks, 28-23, at Lambeau Field in the

Divisional playoff. It was Green Bay’s ninth straight win against Seattle in the postseason.

uGreen Bay improved to 5-1 in divisional games after a bye. The Packers earned a bye week to the divisional round of the playoffs for the sixth time since 1978 and for the first time since 2014 (2011, 2007, 1997, 1996).

uOverall, the Packers improved to 10-10 in the divisional round of the playoffs, with victories in three of the last four.

uGreen Bay is 7-1 at home in the divisional round of the playoffs.uThe Packers’ seven appearances in the divisional round of the playoffs

since 2010 are tied with Seattle for the most in the NFC and the second most in the NFL (New England, nine).

uThe Packers converted 9 of 14 third downs, a 64.3 percentage that was the best by Green Bay in the playoffs since posting the same percentage (also 9 of 14) vs. Dallas in the 2014 postseason.

uQB Aaron Rodgers threw for 243 yards, two TDs and zero INTs with a passer rating of 113.7 in the win over the Seahawks.

uOverall, Rodgers has started seven divisional playoff games, throwing for 2,062 yards (294.6 per game), 16 touchdowns, four interceptions and a passer rating of 101.5. Dating back to 2008, Rodgers’ 16 passing TDs are No. 2 behind New England QB Tom Brady (22 TDs in nine games) and his 101.5 passer rating is No. 3 (min. 75 pass att.), according to pro-football-reference.com.

uRodgers has three divisional playoff games with a passer rating of 110-plus. Dating back to 1950, that is tied with Terry Bradshaw, Brady, Brett Favre and Daryle Lamonica for the most in the NFL (min. 15 att.).

uWR Davante Adams set a single-game franchise playoff record with 160 receiving yards on eight catches (20.0 avg.), with two TDs, topping the previous high of 159 yards by TE Jermichael Finley in the 2009 postseason at Arizona.

uAdams became the first player in team annals to register 150-plus receiving yards and two-plus TD catches in a playoff game.

uAdams’ two TD receptions gave him six for his career in the postseason as he moved into a tie for No. 2 in team playoff history (WR Greg Jennings) behind only WR Antonio Freeman (10).

uWith his third 100-yard receiving game of his career in the playoffs, Adams tied Jennings, Freeman and WR Robert Brooks for the most in team history in the postseason.

uAdams’ eight receiving first downs were the most in a game in team playoff history.

uAdams is the third Packer since the 1970 merger to have two TD catches of 20-plus yards in a playoff game, joining WR Sterling Sharpe at Detroit (Jan. 8, 1994) and WR Randall Cobb vs. the N.Y. Giants (Jan. 8, 2017).

uAdams’ 88 yards receiving in the first half were the most by a Packer in a playoff game since Jennings posted the same number at Atlanta in the first half in the 2010 postseason.

uWith two rushing TDs, RB Aaron Jones became the seventh player in franchise history to post two-plus rushing TDs in a playoff game.

uLB Za’Darius Smith (two sacks) and LB Preston Smith (two sacks) became just the second duo in team history to both register two-plus sacks in the same postseason game (LBs Mike Neal and Nick Perry at Washington in 2016 playoffs).

uDL Kenny Clark recorded a 2-yard sack of QB Russell Wilson in the second quarter, Clark’s first career sack in the playoffs.

POSTSEASON PROFICIENCYAs productive as QB Aaron Rodgers has been during the regular season in his 12 years as the starter, he has also carried that over to the playoffs.uThis year in the divisional win over the Seattle Seahawks, Rodgers

recorded a passer rating of 113.7 and threw two TD passes and then threw for 326 yards and two TDs in the NFC Championship loss to San Francisco, giving him multiple TD passes in each of his last eight post-season games and extending the longest streak in franchise history.

uRodgers has posted a 110-plus passer rating in seven career postsea-son starts, No. 2 in league history (min. 15 att.):

uIn the 2016 Wild Card win over the New York Giants, Rodgers completed 25 of 40 passes for 362 yards and four touchdowns for a passer rating of 125.2. He is one of five QBs in NFL history to throw for 350-plus yards, four-plus TDs and no INTs in a playoff game.

uIn 2016, Rodgers threw for 350-plus passing yards in the Wild Card (362) and Divisional playoff (355), becoming one of four QBs in NFL history to have back-to-back 350-yard passing games in a single postseason. He also became the first Green Bay QB to have back-to-back 300-yard passing games in the playoffs.

WHERE THEY STANDA look at where some current Packers rank in the career postseason fran-chise record book:

uK Mason Crosby’s 51-yard field goal to give Green Bay a 34-31 victory over Dallas in the 2016 Divisional playoff was the longest game-winning FG in NFL postseason history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Crosby became the first kicker in NFL history to make two 50-yard FGs in the final two minutes of a postseason game.

uCrosby’s 56-yard FG was the third longest in NFL postseason history and the longest in team playoff history.

uCrosby has five of the seven longest FGs in franchise playoff history.uCrosby set an NFL record with a streak of 23 consecutive field goals

made in the playoffs (2010-16). With two field goals in the divisional round game at Arizona in the 2015 playoffs, he passed David Akers (19).

uCrosby also has scored in his last 19 consecutive postseason games, a franchise record.

uCrosby has made 26 of 29 field goals (89.7 percent) in the postseason, No. 3 in NFL history (since 1933) among kickers with 25-plus attempts (Sportradar):

uAmong active NFL tight ends, Jimmy Graham ranks No. 3 in the NFL in TD receptions in the postseason with four (Vernon Davis, seven / Travis Kelce, five).

uRB Aaron Jones recorded 23 TDs during the 2019 season (including postseason), surpassing Ahman Green (22 in 2003) for the most in franchise history.

NEW LEADERThe Green Bay Packers named Matt LaFleur (la-flew-er) the 15th head coach in franchise history on Jan. 8, 2019.uLaFleur led the biggest one-year win improvement in franchise history:

uLaFleur (13-3) finished with the most NFL wins by a Packer head coach in their first season:

uLaFleur joins Jim Caldwell and Steve Mariucci as the only head coaches with 13-plus wins to go undefeated in their division in their first season.

uLaFleur tied for the third-most wins by an NFL head coach in their first season.

uLaFleur is the first coach in franchise history to lead his team to a divi-sion title in his first season.

uLaFleur guided Green Bay to a 6-0 record in the NFC North. Dating back to 1967, it is just the second time (6-0 in 2011) that Green Bay has gone undefeated in division games.

uDating back to 2002 when the NFC North was formed, the Packers are the only team to go undefeated in the division in a single regular season (2019, 2011).

uLaFleur led Green Bay to seven home wins, the most by a Packers head coach in his first season:

uWhile LaFleur is the first Packer head coach to lead his team to the postseason in his first year, he is the fourth consecutive head coach to win his first postseason game. The other three head coaches to win their first playoff game led Green Bay to the postseason in their second seasons (Mike McCarthy, Mike Sherman and Mike Holmgren).

uDating back to 1970, LaFleur joined McCarthy as the only head coaches in franchise history to lead their teams to the NFC Championship game in their first appearance in the postseason.

uLaFleur became the first head coach to reach a conference champion-ship in his first season since Jim Harbaugh led San Francisco to the NFC Championship game in 2011.

uLaFleur is the first head coach in franchise history to win seven of his first eight NFL games and the first to win his first three road NFL contests.

uLaFleur is the 19th NFL head coach and the first since Jim Harbaugh in 2011 to win at least seven of his first eight games (Elias Sports Bureau).

uHe joined Vince Lombardi (3-0) as the only head coaches in fran-chise history to win their first three NFL games.

uIt was the first time since 2015 and just the third time (2011) in the last 12 seasons that Green Bay has started 3-0.

uAccording to the Elias Sports Bureau, LaFleur joined John Harbaugh (2008) and Don Coryell (1973) as the only head coaches since the merger (1970) to win each of their first two games, both against divisional opponents.

uWith a win at Chicago in Week 1, LaFleur became the sixth head coach in franchise history to win his first game, joining Curly Lambeau, Vince Lombardi, Phil Bengston, Forrest Gregg and Ray Rhodes. He joins Lombardi as the only Packers head coaches to beat the Bears in their first game.

uLaFleur became only the second coach to make his head-coaching debut in the NFL’s primetime kickoff game (since 2002), joining Jim Zorn, who made his debut with Washington in a losing effort against the New York Giants (16-7) in 2008.

uLaFleur is in his 11th season in the NFL in 2019, having served as an offensive coordinator for two seasons (Los Angeles Rams, 2017; Tennessee Titans, 2018), a quarterbacks coach for six seasons (Washington Redskins, 2010-13; Atlanta Falcons, 2015-16) and an offensive assistant for two seasons (Houston Texans, 2008-09).

uDuring his first 10 seasons in the NFL, LaFleur was a part of offensive staffs that helped their teams rank in the top 10 in the league in total yards seven times (2008-09, 2012-13, 2015-17). In three of his last six seasons in the NFL, he was on a staff that helped its offense finish in the top five in the league in scoring, highlighted by No. 1 rankings in 2016 with the Falcons and in 2017 with the Rams.

uThe former quarterback began his coaching career in 2003 at his alma mater, Saginaw Valley State. LaFleur has six seasons of coaching experi-ence at the collegiate level.

2020 OPPONENTS SETThe Packers’ 2020 schedule includes seven games against teams that made the playoffs and finished the regular season with a winning record in 2019, including five games versus teams who registered 10-plus wins. u A closer look at the 2020 opponents: Last Overall Last Lambeau FieldHome Games ’19 Record Meeting/Result Meeting/ResultAtlanta. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7-9 12/9/18, W, 34-20 12/9/18, W, 34-20Carolina. . . . . . . . . . . . . .5-11 11/10/19, W, 24-16 11/10/19, W, 24-16Chicago. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8-8 12/15/19, W, 21-13 12/15/19, W, 21-13Detroit . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3-12-1 12/29/19, W, 23-20 10/14/19, W, 23-22Jacksonville . . . . . . . . . .6-10 9/11/16, W, 27-23 10/28/12, W, 24-15Minnesota . . . . . . . . . . . .10-6 12/23/19, W, 23-10 9/15/19, W, 21-16Philadelphia . . . . . . . . . . .9-7 9/26/19, L, 27-34 9/26/19, L, 27-34Tennessee. . . . . . . . . . . . .9-7 11/13/16, L, 25-47 12/23/12, W, 55-7Totals. . . . . . . . . .57-70-1 (.445) Last Overall Last MeetingRoad Games ’19 Record Meeting/Result at Site/ResultChicago. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8-8 12/15/19, W, 21-13 9/5/19, W, 10-3Detroit . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3-12-1 12/29/19, W, 23-20 12/29/19, W, 23-20Houston . . . . . . . . . . . . .10-6 12/4/16, W, 21-13 10/14/12, W, 42-24Indianapolis . . . . . . . . . . .7-9 11/6/16, L, 26-31 10/7/12.

THE NEW STAFFLaFleur explored various avenues to compile his coaching staff, bringing in new coaches and retaining some from the 2018 staff. uOffensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett brings 10 years of NFL expe-

rience to Green Bay, including five as an offensive coordinator (Buffalo, 2013-14; Jacksonville, 2016-18). In 2017, he guided the Jaguars to a No. 1 league ranking in rushing (141.4 ypg) for the first time in team history on their way to an appearance in the AFC Championship Game.

uDefensive coordinator Mike Pettine was retained after a 2018 season that featured 16 different players with at least a half-sack, the second most in team history (since 1982) behind only the 1987 campaign (strike season) that saw 17 players register a half-sack or more.

uDefensive backs coach Jason Simmons is entering his ninth season with the Packers having worked in various roles (secondary in 2018,

assistant special teams coach from 2015-17, defensive/special teams assistant in 2014 and a coaching administrator from 2011-13). Before coaching, he played for 10 years in the NFL as a defensive back and was a standout on special teams during his career.

uRunning backs coach Ben Sirmans is entering his fourth season in that position for the Packers. From 2016-18, Green Bay led the NFL with an average of 4.66 yards per carry, including an average of 5.01 yards per carry in 2018 (No. 2 in the NFL) that was the second-best single-season mark in team history. He joined the Packers after spending the previous four seasons (2012-15) as the running backs coach for the St. Louis Rams.

uOutside linebackers coach Mike Smith joins the Packers after spending the last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, first as the assistant defensive line coach in 2016-17 and then coaching outside linebackers last season.

TAKING HIS PLACE AMONG THE GAME’S BESTQB Aaron Rodgers surpassed the 1,500-attempt plateau for his career in 2010, the benchmark to qualify for passer rating in the NFL record book.uRodgers ranks No. 1 in NFL history in career passer rating:

uRodgers is the only QB in NFL history to throw for 4,000-plus pass-ing yards and 25-plus TDs with four or fewer INTs in a single season and he has done it each of the last two years:

2019: 4,002 passing yards 26 passing TDs four INTs 2018: 4,442 passing yards 25 passing TDs two INTsuIn 2019, Rodgers registered his seventh season with 4,000-plus passing

yards, 25-plus passing TDs and 10 or fewer interceptions, the most by an NFL player since 1920, according to pro-football-reference.com:

uRodgers led the league in interception percentage (0.70) for the fourth time in his career in 2019, joining Sammy Baugh (five times) and Tom Brady (four times) as the only players in league history to lead the league in the category in four-plus seasons.

uIn 2019, Rodgers passed Hall of Fame QB Fran Tarkenton (342) and Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (363) to rank No. 8 in NFL history in TD passes (364). He trails Giants QB Eli Manning (366) for the No. 7 spot.

uAmong qualifying players in 2019, Rodgers tied for the league lead for fewest interceptions (four) and tied for the eighth-most TD passes (26). It was the sixth time in his career that he finished in the top 10 in both interceptions and TDs thrown (2016: 7t, 1 / 2014: 2t, 3 / 2012: 4t, 1 / 2011: 2t, 2 / 2009: 2t, 4).

uRodgers ranked No. 9 in the NFL in 2019 in completions (353) and tied Don Majkowski (1989) for the eighth most in a season in franchise history. Rodgers owns five of the top 10 and three of the top four sea-sons in franchise history for completions (1, 2t, 4, 8t, 10).

uIn Week 7 of 2019, Rodgers set a single-game franchise record with a perfect 158.3 passer rating after connecting on 25 of 31 passes for 429 yards and five TDs with no INTs. It eclipsed the previous single-game team record of 155.4 by Rodgers at Cleveland on Oct. 25, 2009.

uRodgers also posted a rushing TD in Week 7, making him just the second QB in NFL history (Redskins QB Mark Rypien; Nov. 10, 1991) to throw for 400-plus yards with five-plus passing TDs, a rushing TD and no INTs.

uDating back to 1950, Rodgers was just the sixth NFL QB to register 400-plus passing yards and a perfect passer rating in a game, according to pro-football-reference.com.

uRodgers’ average of 13.84 yards per attempt in Week 7 was a single-game career high (min. 15 att.) and was the best by a Green Bay QB since Brett Favre registered a 14.52-yard average (363 yards on 25 att.) at Indianapolis on Nov. 16, 1997. Rodgers’ 13.84-yard average was the best in team history in a game with 30-plus attempts.

uWeeks 7-8 marked the sixth time in his career that Rodgers has had two or more consecutive games with 300-plus passing yards, three-plus passing TDs and no INTs. No other QB in team history has done it once.

uA look at where Rodgers ranks among active NFL quarterbacks since he took over as the starter in 2008 (min. 1,500 attempts):

uRodgers reached 40,000 passing yards in his 154th career game. At the time, he had 323 passing TDs, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 40,000 passing yards and 300 TD passes in fewer than 157 games, the number in which both Peyton Manning and Dan Marino reached the two marks.

uRodgers tied Manning for the fourth-fewest games to reach 40,000 passing yards, trailing Matt Ryan (151), Drew Brees (152) and Marino (153), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

uRodgers has a franchise-record nine 400-plus-yard games. No other quarterback in franchise annals has more than one 400-yard passing game (four QBs with one).

uAt the time of Rodgers’ 5,000th career attempt, he had 319 TD passes and 78 INTs, setting the record for the most (Johnny Unitas, 284) and fewest (Donovan McNabb, 107) in each category in NFL history at the time of the 5,000th attempt.

JONES JUMPS TO THE FRONTuRB Aaron Jones finished the 2019 regular season at the top of the

NFL in rushing TDs and total TDs:

uJones’ 16 rushing TDs in 2019 were the second most in a single season in Packers history:

uJones’ 19 total TDs tied for the second most in a single regular season in franchise history:

uWith 114 points during the 2019 regular season, Jones became the first non-kicker to be the sole leader on the team as far as scoring since WR Sterling Sharpe in 1994 (RB Ahman Green tied with K Ryan Longwell in 2003).

uJones (1,558 yards and 19 TDs in 2019) joined Jim Taylor (1,580 yards and 19 TDs in 1962) and Ahman Green (2,250 yards and 20 TDs in 2003) as the only running backs in franchise history to post 1,500-plus yards from scrimmage and 15-plus TDs in a single season.

uJones registered his first career 1,000-yard rushing season (1,084) in 2019. His 236 rushing attempts were the fewest carries needed by a 1,000-yard rusher for Green Bay since RB John Brockington in 1971 (1,105 yards on 216 carries).

uJones is one of three NFL players (Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara) from 2017-19 to record three seasons with 80-plus carries and an aver-age of at least 4.5 yards per carry.

uIn Week 10, Jones recorded three rushing TDs, marking the second time this season that Jones recorded three-plus rushing TDs in a game (four at Dallas).

uDating back to 1950, Jones’ two games with three-plus rushing TDs in 2019 tied with Taylor (1960) for the second most in a season by a Packer behind Taylor’s three games in 1962.

uJones was the only player in the NFL this season with multiple games with three-plus rushing TDs.

uJones recorded five multi-rushing TD performances during the 2019 regular season (Weeks 3, 5, 10, 15 and 16) to lead the NFL:

uJones tied for the most games with multiple rushing TDs by a Packer in a single season in 2019:

uJones ranked No. 7 in the NFL during the 2019 regular season with an average of 4.59 yards per carry (min. 200 att.). Since entering the NFL in 2017, Jones ranks in the top five in yards per carry (min. 200 att.) among running backs:

uJones is the first player in team history and the 10th player in NFL history to have a 150-yard rushing game (154 in Week 16) and a 150-yard receiving game (159 in Week 8) in the same season.

uIn the win over Washington in Week 14, Jones posted 192 yards from scrimmage (134 rushing, 58 receiving) on 22 touches, joining WR Don Hutson (1942) as the only players in franchise history to register two games in a season with 190-plus yards from scrimmage on 25 or fewer touches (per the Elias Sports Bureau).

uAlso in Week 14, Jones became the first Packer with 130-plus rushing yards (134), an average of 8.3-plus yards per carry (8.4) and 50-plus receiving yards (58) in a game since Taylor (at L.A. Rams, Dec. 13, 1964).

uWeek 14 also marked Jones’ second game since 2018 with 15-plus rushing attempts and an average of 8.3-plus yards per carry, joining Tennessee Titans RB Derrick Henry as the only two RBs in the league with two games since 2018.

uIn Week 8, Jones posted a career-high 159 receiving yards and two TDs on seven receptions (22.7 avg.), the second-most receiving yards in a game by a RB in franchise history behind only Andy Uram (174 yards, vs. Chicago Cardinals on Nov. 1, 1942).

uJones added 67 rushing yards on 13 carries (5.2 avg.), giving him a career-best 226 yards from scrimmage, the fourth-best single-game total in team annals and the best mark since Green’s 227-yard game vs. Denver on Dec. 28, 2003.

uJones’ average of 11.3 yards per touch set a single-game franchise mark among RBs with 200-plus yards from scrimmage (Elias Sports Bureau):

uJones joined Rams RB Todd Gurley (at Tennessee on Dec. 24, 2017) as the only NFL players since 1950 to have 65-plus rushing yards, 150-plus receiving yards, seven-plus receptions and two receiving TDs in a single game.

THE SMITHS DELIVER RIGHT AWAYPackers General Manager Brian Gutekunst and his staff made numer-ous moves to strengthen the roster this offseason, including bringing the Smiths to Green Bay.uThe Packers were the only team in the league to have two players with

12-plus sacks in the 2019 regular season:

uLB Za’Darius (zuh-DARE-ee-us) Smith tied for No. 5 in franchise history (since 1982) for the most sacks in a single season and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl.

uZ. Smith posted the most sacks by any player in his first season with the Packers (since 1982).

uAccording to NFL Next Gen Stats, Z. Smith led the NFL in disruptions (combined total of hurries, pressures or sacks - one per play) during the 2019 regular season:

uZ. Smith finished near the top of the league in QB pressure rate (total number of pressures divided by the total number of pass-rush snaps) and disruption rate (total number of disruptions divided by the total number of pass rush snaps) among players who had a min. of 200 pass-rush snaps in 2019 (NFL Next Gen Stats):

uThe Smiths are the first duo in the team history with 12-plus sacks in the same season and only the second tandem in Packers history (since 1982) to each have 10-plus sacks in a season (Reggie White, 13.0 and Bryce Paup, 11.0 in 1993).

uLB Preston Smith is the only player in the NFL with 25-plus sacks (36.5), five-plus INTs (five) and five-plus forced fumbles (five) from 2015-19.

uP. Smith set a career high with 12.0 sacks in 2019. He matched his single-game career high set on Dec. 26, 2015, at Philadelphia with three sacks in Week 3 vs. Denver.

uZ. Smith’s 13.5 sacks in 2019 surpassed his career high of 8.5 that he set in 2018.

uIn a Week 16 win at Minnesota, Z. Smith set a career high with 3.5 sacks, making him one of three NFL players (MIN DE Danielle Hunter and CAR DE Mario Addison) to register three-plus sacks in a game in both of the last two seasons (2018-19).

uZ. Smith tied for No. 1 in the NFL this season in games with at least 1.5 sacks (five) and P. Smith is tied for No. 4 (four), pro-football-reference.com.

uAs a team, the Packers tied for No. 5 in the NFL in third-down sacks (19.0) during the 2019 regular season, and P. Smith’s seven sacks on third down rank near the top of the NFL:

uBoth of the Smiths ranked in the top 10 among NFL linebackers this season in total pressures and QB hits, according to Sportradar:

uThe 2019 regular season saw the most receptions by Packers RB/FBs since 2006 (113), the most receiving yards since 2005 (881) and the most receiving TDs since 2003 (10).

uJones (three) and Williams (five) were the only RB tandem in the NFL to both have at least three receiving TDs this season:

uThe last time the Packers had two RBs/FBs with three-plus TD receptions in a season was 2003 when Green had five and William Henderson had three.

uThe Packers recorded two games with 170-plus rushing yards on fewer than 30 rushing attempts, tied for the most in the NFL in 2019.

uIn Week 10, the Packers posted 163 rushing yards and three TDs on 27 carries (6.0 avg.), just the fifth time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger that the team registered 160-plus rushing yards and three-plus rushing TDs on 30 or fewer attempts. Jones (93 yards on 13 att.) and Williams (63 yards on 13 att.) became the first Green Bay duo to rush for 60-plus yards each on 15 or fewer carries each in the same game since RB Paul Ott Carruth and FB Gerry Ellis did so vs. Minnesota on Dec. 7, 1986.

uWilliams is the first Packer to post 400-plus rushing yards and 200-plus receiving yards in each of his first three seasons in the NFL (according to the Elias Sports Bureau).

uWilliams has registered 200-plus receiving yards in each of his first three seasons in the league to tie Jessie Clark (1983-85) for the most consecutive seasons with 200-plus yards by a Packers RB to start their career (according to the Elias Sports Bureau).

uWilliams registered a receiving TD in four straight games (Weeks 6-9), joining Green (2003) as the only RBs in Packers history to have a TD catch in four consecutive games in a single season.

uIn Week 8, Jones had two receiving TDs and Williams had one, marking the first time the Packers have had three TD receptions in a game by RBs since Nov. 12, 1995, vs. Chicago (Edgar Bennett with two, Dorsey Levens with one).

uAmong fullbacks/running backs with five-plus receptions (seven) in 2019, Vitale ranked No. 1 in the league in yards per catch:

uThe Packers rushed for 120-plus yards in Weeks 5-6 on fewer than 30 attempts. It was only the fourth time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger that the Packers had posted back-to-back games with 120-plus rushing yards on fewer than 30 attempts and the first time since 2006.

uWeek 6 marked the fifth time since 2017 that the Packers posted 150-plus rushing yards on fewer than 30 attempts, which is tied for the most in the league over that span (Kansas City, San Francisco). Green Bay is also the only team in the league to have at least one of those games in each of the last three seasons (2017-19).

uJones tied a franchise record with four rushing TDs in Week 5. It was the Packers’ first game with four rushing TDs since Dec. 23, 2012, vs. Tennessee.

uThe Packers rushed for 170 yards on 29 carries (5.9 avg.) in Week 6. They were led by Williams, who posted 104 rushing yards on just 14 attempts (7.4 avg.), the fewest carries needed by a Packer in a 100-yard rushing game since RB James Starks (10-112) vs. San Diego on Oct. 18, 2015. Williams recorded a career-long 45-yard run, the longest by a Packer this season.

uJones (107 yards in Week 5) and Williams (104 yards in Week 6) going back-to-back with 100-plus-yard rushing games marked the first time Green Bay has had different RBs post a 100-yard game in back-to-back weeks since Weeks 2-3 in 2013 (Starks in Week 2, Johnathan Franklin in Week 3).

IMMEDIATE RETURNSRB Tyler Ervin was claimed off of waivers by the Packers prior to the Week 14 game against Washington and made quite the impact over the final four regular-season games. uFor the Packers, Ervin averaged 9.6 yards per punt return and returned

six kickoffs for an average of 26.7 yards.uIn his first game with the Packers (Week 14), Ervin returned all four

punts for 10-plus yards (10, 12, 18, 11), marking the first time a Packer had four punt returns of 10-plus yards in a game since Derrick Mayes posted four at Minnesota on Dec. 1, 1997 (accord-ing to the Elias Sports Bureau).

uIn his second game with Green Bay, Ervin posted a 45-yard kickoff return in the second quarter, the longest by a Packer since WR Jeff Janis registered a 47-yarder at Oakland on Dec. 20, 2015.

uIn Week 17, he returned a kickoff 33 yards to the GB 43-yard line. His two KO returns of 30-plus yards tied for No. 2 in NFL over the final four weeks of the regular season (Sportradar).
