Here are some of the numbers that helped define the Packers 30-27 win over the Chicago Bears on December 18.

  1. Game time temperature was 9 degrees. The Packers are now 7-8 in games when the temperature is below 10 degrees, 3-5 on the road and 4-3 at home. Of the 13 NFL games that were played below 10 degrees since 2000, the Packers have played in seven of them.
  2. Green Bay has now won seven of their last eight games when they score first on the road. They are 43-19 when they score first on the road since 2000.
  3. The Packers held the Bears scoreless in the first quarter. The Pack is 39-7 since 2010 when they hold their opponents scoreless in the first quarter.
  4. Green Bay allowed four sacks in the game, which normally is not a good sign for the team. They had lost six straight when the QB is sacked four or more times. The team is now 10-18 since 2010 when they allow four or more sacks in a contest.
  5. The game was tied at halftime, 10-10. Until yesterday’s game, the Packers had lost seven straight when the game was tied at half.
  6. Ty Montgomery had 16 carries for 162 yards. It was the most rushing yards in a game by a Packer since Samkon Gado had 172 yards in a game in 2005. Montgomery averaged 10.1 yards per carry; he was the first Packers runner to average over 10 yards per carry in a game where he rushed for over 150 yards since Ahman Green averaged 10.9 in a game in 2004.
  7. The Packers defense had four takeaways and is now 33-4 since 2010 when they get four or more takeaways in a game.
  8. Montgomery had two rushing TDs to go along with his 162 yards rushing. He is the first Packers’ back to have 150 or more rushing yards and two rushing scores since Green in 2004. He became only the third Packers player to get two TD runs and 150 or more yards in a game… the others are Jim Taylor and Green.
  9. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had two interceptions for the second time in his career and the second time this season. He had a pair of picks on November 6 versus the Colts.
  10. The Packers had three rushing TDs and have now won 11 of their last 12 when they get three or more rushing TDs in a game.
  11. Green Bay scored 17 points in the third quarter. They are now 6-1 since 2000 when they score 17 or more points in the third quarter. Since 2000, Green Bay is 6-0 when they score 17 or more points in the first quarter; 19-2 when they score 17 points or more in the second quarter; and 11-2 when they score 17 or more points in the fourth quarter.
  12. Green Bay had a 17-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The Bears did tie the score, but the Packers won with time running out on a Mason Crosby field goal. The team has now won 40 straight when they have a lead of 17 points or more going into the final period (their last loss was in 2003 to Kansas City). Since 1970, Green Bay is 95-2 in games when they have a 17-point lead or more going into the fourth quarter.
  13. The Bears scored 17 points in the fourth quarter to tie the game. That’s usually not a good sign for the Packers. Since 1970, Green Bay is now 4-18 when their opponents tally 17 or more points in the fourth quarter.
  14. The Pack had 226 yards rushing. They have now won 12 consecutive games when they get 200 or more rushing yards in a game and are 42-3-2 since 1970 when they top the 200-yards rushing mark in a contest.
  15. This was only the 11th regular season start in Aaron Rodgers career where he did not throw a TD pass. The team is now 4-7 in those games.
  16. With three rushing TDs and no TD passes in the game, Green Bay is now 9-0 since 1970 when they get three or more rushing TDs and no TD passes in a contest.
  17. Mason Crosby was 3-for-3 in field goals in the win. It was the 36th regular season game where Crosby had three or more made FGs. Green Bay is 29-7 in those games.
  18. Jordy Nelson had the big catch at the end of the game and finished with seven receptions for 124 yards. Green Bay is now 21-3 in games when Jordy gains over 100 yards receiving.
  19. The Pack had 226 yards rushing on 23 attempts, 9.8 yards per carry. That 9.8 mark set a team record. The previous high was 9.2 in a game in 2010 when they had 157 yards on 17 carries.
  20. Green Bay has now won 16 of their last 17 games when they score 30 or more points. They are 39-5 in away games since 2000 when they score 30 or more points.

Here are some of the numbers that helped define the Packers 38-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks on December 11.

  1. The Packers have now won four of their last five against NFC West opponents. They are 16-7 against the NFC West during the Mike McCarthy era and 9-2 at home against that division since 2006.
  2. The temperature at game time was 26 degrees. Since 2000 they are 27-10-1 in games when the temperature is under 30 degrees at game time and 25-5-1 at home in those games.
  3. Davante Adams scored on a 66-yard TD pass from Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter. It was the first TD pass of 60+ yards in his career. It was the longest TD play for the Pack since 11/9/2014 when Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson with a 73-yard TD pass in a game versus the Bears. Since 2000 the Packers have scored 25 TDs of 60 or more yards; Jordy Nelson has been on the receiving end of 10 of those scoring plays.
  4. Rodgers had three TD passes in the game and now has 32 for the season. It is his sixth season with 30+ TD passes tying him with Tom Brady for fourth place on the all-time list of most 30+ TD pass seasons in the league. Drew Brees, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning are tied for first with nine seasons with 30 or more TD passes.
  5. Mason Crosby missed a field in yesterday’s game, although it did not factor in the final decision. Green Bay is 10-4 since 2014 in games when he misses a field goal attempt. Crosby had eight points in the game (one field goal and five extra points). The Pack is 65-16-1 in games when Crosby tallies eight or more points in a contest.
  6. Green Bay scored first in the game and has now won six straight at home when they score first.
  7. Damarious Randall had two of the team’s five interceptions. The Packers are 23-3 in the last 26 times when a player has two or more picks in a game for the team.
  8. The team has now won 21 straight when they have four or more interceptions in a game. In the 39 games in history where the team had five or more interceptions, the team is 36-3 with two of those losses coming in 1953 and one in 1955.
  9. Green Bay had a 21-3 lead at halftime. They have now won 52 straight at home when they have a lead of 14 points or more at halftime; the last loss was to the Lions in 1983.
  10. Adams had another 100-yard receiving game. Of the last nine 100-yard games by a receiver for the Packers, Adams has had four of them.
  11. Rodgers QBR for the game was 150.8, his fourth career game with a QBR over 150. The Packers are 17-0 when Rodgers has a QBR of 135 and above, and they are 30-2 when his QBR in a game is 120 or above.
  12. Jordy Nelson had his 12th career game with multiple TD receptions. He is tied with Sterling Sharpe with 12 games with 2+ TD receptions. Antonio Freeman tops this category for the team with 13 such games.
  13. The Packers allowed only 10 points in the game and have now won 13 straight when they allow 10 or fewer points in a game. They are 28-1 in games since 2006 when the opposition scores 10 or fewer points. They have now won 53 straight games at home when they hold the opposition to 10 or fewer points; the last loss was in 1991 when the Bears won 10-0 in a game on November 24.

Here are some of the numbers that helped define the Packers 21-13 win over the Houston Texans on December 4.

  1. The Packers closed out their 2016 games against AFC teams with a 2-2 record (they defeated Houston yesterday and won over Jacksonville earlier in the season; they lost to the Colts and Titans).

  2. Green Bay has traditionally played well in December and yesterday was a good start for the December run this season. They are 19-7 in December since 2010, but an even more impressive 12-1 at home in December since 2010.
  3. Yesterday’s game was scoreless after the first quarter. Since 2000, the Pack is 23-14 in games where both teams are scoreless after the first quarter, and they are 13-2 at home since 2000 when the score is 0-0 after the first quarter.

  7. The score was tied 7-7 going into the fourth quarter. Green Bay has won 10 of their last 15 when the score is tied going into the fourth quarter, and they have won seven of their last 10 at home when the score is tied going into fourth quarter.
  8. Aaron Rodgers had two TD passes and no interceptions in the contest. The Packers are 50-6 in games when Rodgers has no interceptions in a game and two or more TD passes.
  9. Jordy Nelson led the receiving corps with eight catches for 118 yards. Green Bay is 20-3 when Jordy has 100 or more yards receiving in a game, 13-4 when he catches eight or more passes in a game, and are 35-11 when he scores a TD in a game.
  10. The Packers defense is 37-1 in the Mike McCarthy era (since 2006) when they hold their opponents to under 14 points in a game. The Packers are 24-0 since 2006 at home when the opposition scores under 14 in a game.

Here are some of the numbers that helped define the Packers 42-24 loss to the Washington Redskins on November 20.

  1. The Packers are now 5-5 in their last 10 night games.
  2. This is the first four-game losing streak for the Packers since 2008. They had the second longest time-span of not having a four-game losing streak coming into yesterday’s game. The New England Patriots top the league… they have not had a four-game losing streak in a season since 2002.
  3. The Pack was scoreless in the first quarter. They are 3-9 in the last 12 games where they did not score in the first quarter.
  4. The Packers were behind 13-10 at halftime. In the last 11 games where the Packers scored 10 or fewer points in the first half, the team is 2-9.
  5. Green Bay was behind 22-10 going into the fourth quarter. Since 2010, they are 1-17-1 in games when they are behind by 10 points or more entering the final quarter.

  7. Washington QB Kirk Cousins had a Quarterback Rating (QBR) of 145.8 in the game; that is the fourth highest QBR of an opposing QB versus the Pack in the Mike McCarthy era. The Packers are now 0-16 since 2006 when the opposing QB has a QBR of 120 or above.
  8. Redskins receivers Jamison Crowder and Pierre Garcon each had over 100 yards receiving in the game, the first time a pair of opposing players both went over the 100-yard mark in receiving yards since 2012 when the Lions had a pair do so.
  9. Redskins rookie running back Robert Kelley had 137 yards rushing in the contest. The Pack is 31-36-1 when an opposing runner goes over 100 yards. He was also the fourth rookie since 2013 to gain 100 yards rushing against the Packers. The others: Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley and Le’Veon Bell.
  10. Kelley also had three rushing TDs in the game. He is the third running back since 2000 to have three rushing TDs versus the Packers, and the second rookie to do so since the Lions’ James Jones had three rushing TDs versus the Packers in 1983.
  11. The Packers “D” did not have any takeaways in the game. The team is 4-19 since 2006 when they have no takeaways in a game.
  12. Aaron Rodgers had over 300 yards passing, three TD passes and no interceptions for the 28th time in his career. He passed Brett Favre for fifth place all-time in this stat. Drew Brees tops the list with 56 games with 300+ yards passing, three TD passes and no interceptions in a game.
  13. Green Bay allowed 40 points in a game for the second time this season. The Pack in 1986 and 2004 had three games where they allowed 40 or more points, most since 1970. They allowed 40 or more points twice in the 1980, 1983 and now the 2016 seasons.
