Game summaries Week 1: at Chicago Bears NFL Kickoff Game Week 2: vs. Minnesota Vikings Week 3: vs. Denver Broncos Week 4: vs. Philadelphia Eagles Week 5: at Dallas Cowboys The Packers controlled the game early on, establishing a 31–3 lead midway through the third quarter with running back
Aaron Jones rushing for four touchdowns and the Packers defense forcing three interceptions off of Cowboys quarterback
Dak Prescott. Although the Cowboys attempted to come back late in the game, with the team totaling over 500 yards of total offense and 3 touchdowns, the Packers' lead would prove too much to overcome. With the win, the Packers improved to 4-1 and won their third straight meeting against the Cowboys.
Week 6: vs. Detroit Lions This
Monday Night Football game proved to be highly controversial, due to two highly questionable and controversial hands to the face penalties against Lions defensive end
Trey Flowers helped the Packers score in the 4th quarter. Nevertheless, the Packers improved to 5-1 and snapped a 4-game losing streak to the Lions.
Week 7: vs. Oakland Raiders Quarterback Aaron Rodgers became the first player in Packers history to throw for a
perfect passer rating.
Week 8: at Kansas City Chiefs Week 9: at Los Angeles Chargers Week 10: vs. Carolina Panthers Week 12: at San Francisco 49ers Week 13: at New York Giants The Packers beat the Giants in the snow to continue their winning streak.
Week 14: vs. Washington Redskins Week 15: vs. Chicago Bears With the win, the Packers improved to 11–3. With the victory of the
Minnesota Vikings over the
Los Angeles Chargers, the Bears were eliminated from post season contention.
Week 16: at Minnesota Vikings With the win, the Packers advanced to 12–3 and won the NFC North. The Packers also won 12 games for the first time since 2014, and advanced to a record of 12–3 for the first time since 2007. This was the first regular-season game of Aaron Rodgers' career, and second game overall, where he threw at least one interception and no touchdown passes and won the game. The only other time this occurred was the 2010 NFC Championship Game against the
Bears.
Week 17: at Detroit Lions With the win, the Packers finished the season 13–3, achieving their best record since 2011, and gave the Packers their first division sweep since 2011 as well. They also clinched the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs and earned a first-round bye, although the
San Francisco 49ers victory over the
Seattle Seahawks prevented them from clinching home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
