The 2022 season was the Green Bay Packers' 102nd in the National Football League (NFL), their 104th overall and fourth under head coach Matt LaFleur.
The team became the winningest franchise in NFL history when it beat their archrival, the Chicago Bears, in Week 13, who held the record at every season's end since 1921 and were tied with the Packers for a three-week stretch leading up to the game.
After a 3–1 start, the Packers suffered a midseason collapse, going into a five-game losing streak (their longest since 2008) in the process, falling to a 3–6 record. This collapse caused them to fail to improve on their 13-4 record from 2021 after a Week 7 loss to the Washington Commanders, and failed to match it after a loss the following week to the Buffalo Bills.
After falling to 4–8, they rallied to win four straight games and remain in the playoff hunt, but were eliminated from playoff contention when they lost the last game of the season to the division rival Detroit Lions, ensuring the team their first losing season and non–playoff appearance since 2018.
This was the Packers' last season with longtime quarterback Aaron Rodgers before he was traded to the New York Jets in April 2023.
As of 2026, this remains the last time the Packers have missed the playoffs or finished with a losing record.
