2019 Green Bay Packers season
101st season in franchise history From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The 2019 season was the Green Bay Packers' 99th in the National Football League (NFL), their 101st overall and their first under new head coach Matt LaFleur. This for first time since 2008 Clay Matthews was not on the opening day roster who sign with Los Angeles Rams in offseason. After suffering back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1990–91 and missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2005–06, the Packers improved on their 6–9–1 record from 2018, finishing 13–3 and returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. This guaranteed the Packers' first non-losing season since that same year. Green Bay swept the NFC North for the first time since their franchise-best 2011 season, and achieved their best record since that season as well.
The Packers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28–23 in the Divisional round of the playoffs, and visited the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, where they lost 37–20.

The Packers' preseason opponents and schedule were announced in the spring.[66]
The preseason week 3 game against the Raiders was in the process of being negotiated; plans were for the game to be held at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, Manitoba,[67] on August 22 after a scheduling conflict prevented the game from being played at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan.[68] In the event that the Winnipeg negotiations would have fallen through, the game would be moved to Lambeau Field, effectively giving the Packers an extra home game.[69] On June 5, the IG Field in Winnipeg was confirmed as the host.[70]
Due to holes left in the endzones where the field goals are traditionally anchored in Canadian football, the Packers' third preseason game was played on a modified 80-yard field.
