103rd season in franchise history
The 2021 season was the Green Bay Packers ' 101st season in the National Football League , their 103rd overall and their third under head coach Matt LaFleur .
With a Week 15 win over the Baltimore Ravens , the Packers won the NFC North for the third consecutive year.[2] With their victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, they earned home field advantage, a first round bye, and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.[3] They also became the first team in NFL history to finish three consecutive seasons with 13 or more wins. Aaron Rodgers was also named MVP for the fourth time and the second year in a row.[4]
However, their season came to an abrupt end for the third time in a row, with a 13–10 upset loss to the underdog San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round; this marked the Packers' fourth loss against the 49ers in the postseason and in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs since Aaron Rodgers became the starting quarterback, with it also being their second home divisional loss in the Rodgers era.[5] This also meant the Packers only won a total of two playoff games between these three thirteen-win seasons.
While the Packers were able to clinch the top-seed and clinching the NFC’s best record, the Packers special teams received scrutiny during the entire season as they were ranked 32nd in the NFL by the Football Outsiders DVOA, Packer Central, and Sports Illustrated writer Rick Gosselin.[6] [7] Following the playoff loss to the 49ers, Maurice Drayton was fired as special teams coordinator.[8]
