List of Green Bay Packers team records explained

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.^[1] They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) and play their home games at Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin.^{[2] [3]} As one of the oldest teams in the NFL, the Packers have accumulated a significant number of records, both as a team and within the NFL. The Packers have recorded the most regular season victories (808) and the most overall victories (845) of any team, and are tied with the New England Patriots for the second most playoff wins (37).^[4] Since entering the NFL, the team has won 13 championships (the most in NFL history), including 9 NFL Championships prior to 1966 and 4 Super Bowls, which is inclusive of 2 additional NFL Championships won during the AFL–NFL merger. They have captured 21 divisional titles, 9 conference championships and been to the playoffs 36 times.^[5]

Individually, Packers passing statistical leaders are dominated by two quarterbacks: Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Both started over 225 games each for the Packers during the modern era of football that saw a significant proliferation of the passing game.^{[6] [7]} Packers rushing and receiving statistical leaders are more diverse. Don Hutson held almost every Packer and NFL receiving record at the end of his career in 1945;^[8] he still holds the Packer record for most receiving touchdowns with 99. During the 1960s, Vince Lombardi's strong rushing attack, which included the Packers sweep, saw Jim Taylor set Packer records for most career rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.^[9] Ahman Green broke Taylor's record for most rushing yards 40 years later, as well as setting other single-season rushing records. Under Favre and Rodgers from 1992 to 2022, Sterling Sharpe, Donald Driver and Davante Adams set almost every Packers receiving record. Defensively, Packers statistical leaders are quite diverse, although defensive statistics are a relatively recent phenomenon. On special teams, kickers Mason Crosby, Chester Marcol and Ryan Longwell hold almost every kicking record in Packers history, while punters David Beverly and Craig Hentrich hold most punting records. Punt and kick return records are very diverse, with a number of players holding different records.

Team achievements

See also: List of Green Bay Packers seasons. The Green Bay Packers have accumulated the most wins of any team in NFL history (both in the regular season and combined total of regular season and postseason) and the most NFL Championships. They also own the second highest winning percentage (behind the Dallas Cowboys) and have won the second most playoff games (behind the San Francisco 49ers and tied with New England Patriots).^[10] The Packers have won three straight NFL Championships two separate times (1929 to 1931 and 1965 to 1967). They are the only NFL team to ever achieve this feat even once.^[11] The table below provides a summary of the Packers' all-time record and playoff achievements.

All statistics are accurate through the end of the 2023 NFL season.
