Sundays just aren’t as much fun when the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing. But they need their rest, so we’ll take a moment to review their awesomeness that has extended through the past three seasons.
Travel back in time to Week 9 of the 2009 season. The Packers were coming off a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that left them at 4-4 at the midway point of the season. They had lost twice to the evil, Brett Favre-led Minnesota Vikings and things were looking uncertain.
Through the next 55 games, Green Bay would go a mind-blowing 42-13. That’s impressive in and of itself, but just wait. Here’s a closer look at their 13 losses:

What’s my point, you ask? I just want to sum up the Packers last 13 losses: 1 loss in which they got skunked, 2 losses in which Rodgers did not play or did not finish the game due to injury, 2 losses by one score when comebacks fell short, 1 loss on a last-second missed field goal, 2 losses in which the other team scored a field goal with under ten seconds, and 5 losses on the final play of the game.
So, in the last 55 games that the Packers have played, they lost one game by more than one score. Fifty-five games. That’s three calendar years with one loss by more than one score! In conclusion, the Green Bay Packers are a-mazing and better than your team. Q.E. D.
