The Green Bay Packers has just completed one of the most impressive regular seasons in the franchise’s long history.
Matt LaFleur’s team finished 13-3 and secured seed # 1 in the conference, the attack scored 509 points and 66 touchdowns, both the most scoring seconds in the franchise’s history, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers will likely win his third MVP prize.
Here are all the unforgettable statistics from the historic 2020 Packers season:
