2020 Green Bay Packers season


The 2020 season was the Green Bay Packers' 100th season in the National Football League, their 102nd overall and their second under head coach Matt LaFleur.
They matched their 13–3 record and NFC Championship appearance from the last season, clinching homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs for the first time since 2011. Green Bay's offense scored less than 30 points only 4 times during the regular season.
The Packers clinched both their second consecutive playoff berth and NFC North title following a Week 14 win against the [2020 2020 Detroit Lions season|Detroit Lions season|Detroit Lions] and a [2020 2020 Minnesota Vikings season|Minnesota Vikings season|Minnesota Vikings] loss to the [2020 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|Tampa Bay Buccaneers] the same day. With their victory over the [2020 2020 Chicago Bears season|Chicago Bears season|Chicago Bears] in Week 17, they earned home field advantage, a first round bye, and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
