The Green Bay Packers surged at the end of the 2023 season and did enough to make the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs. While wins over the Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears were good enough to allow the Packers to finish with a 9-8 regular-season record, the performance throughout the year was fairly hum-drum.
The seeds of change were planted in those trio of games, they bore fruit in the playoffs. The Packers had one of the most impressive performances of the year as they exploded for a 48-32 road triumph over the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card game.
