The Green Bay Packers did it again. They managed to transition from a future hall of fame quarterback to a young QB with plenty of upside. In fact, the Packers are getting better at grooming young quarterbacks. It at least took Aaron Rodgers a full season before leading his team to the playoffs. The rest of the NFL is getting kind of tired of the whole thing. But seriously, the similarities between the 2010 and 2023 Green Bay Packers are eye opening. And that is of course more good news for the Packers faithful as the Packers won the Super Bowl that season. Could the green and yellow be in line for another deep playoff run that is capped off with a Lombardi Trophy? Look at the similarities between the 2010 and 2023 Green Bay Packers.
The 2023 and 2010 Green Bay Packers share these similarities. Both clinched a playoff birth in the final week of the season with a win over the Bears. They are both the lowest seeded team in the NFC Playoffs. Both beat the NFC East champions in the Wild Card round. Both teams knocked off the 2-seed in the NFC by scoring exactly 48 points on the road. Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love entered the playoffs with exactly 0 wins on their resume. And the Packers are not the only NFC North team to make the playoffs. This season the Lions (NFC North champs) and in 2010 the Bears got in as NFC North champs. In 2010 the Packers beat the Bears, and in 2023 the Packers could face the Lions. Both games would be on the road for the Packers as well.
