Based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Green Bay Packers are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League.
Originally formed in 1919, the Packers began as a semi-professional football team that played against other clubs from Wisconsin as well as the rest of the Midwest. However, in 1921, the team went professional, joining the APFA (currently known as the NFL). The team played its home games at Lambeau Field.
The Packers have won 13 division titles, 8 conference championships, 9 NFL championships, and 3 Super Bowl titles. Beginning in 1992, the Packers enjoyed 13 consecutive .500 or above seasons, setting an NFL record. The team’s winning streak ended in 2005, when the team finally suffered a losing season.
The slump continued into 2008, when the Packers ended the regular season with a 6-10 record. It was the same year that the Packers lost longtime quarterback Brett Favre, first to a trade then permanently to retirement. However, 2005 first round draft pick Aaron Rodgers did an adequate job as a replacement; the team’s poor record was due more to injuries to starters during the season, rather than to a poor performance by Rodgers.
