2017 IN REVIEW

The Green Bay Packers began their franchise’s 99th season with hope and hype after reaching the NFC Championship game. Led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers had their eyes set on bringing the Lombardi Trophy home once again. That did not happen. The season began with a visit from a familiar foe, the Seattle Seahawks. Martellus Bennett had joined the Packers, hoping they could find another Jermichael Finley to fit their offense. Eddie Lacy returned with Seattle and ran for three yards on five carries. The Packers, meanwhile, averaged three yards per carry. A Mike Daniels strip-sack set up a Ty Montgomery touchdown run to win the game 17-9. In week 2, the Packers had a chance to avenge their NFC Championship loss against the Atlanta Falcons, who opened their new $1.5 billion stadium and came out aggressive on Sunday Night Football, jumping out to a 24-7 lead at halftime. Green Bay made it close in the fourth quarter but ended up losing 34-23. Facing the 0-2 Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field, the Packers found themselves behind at halftime again, 21-7. Down 24-17 with 3:46 left in the game, Aaron Rodgers began one of his patented fourth-quarter drives, connecting with Jordy Nelson on a beautiful throw near the pylon with 17 seconds left to tie the game. The Packers went on to win the game 27-24 in overtime on a 27-yard field goal by Mason Crosby. Four days later, the Chicago Bears came to town and Geen Bay slammed their archrivals 35-14, with Aaron Rodgers throwing four touchdown passes. The memorable moment from this game was the dirty hit Danny Trevathan put on Davante Adams’ head, knocking him out of the game in the third quarter. Rodgers labeled the win as "(a) big character win for us.” Davante Adams did not even miss a game, shockingly, as the Packers traveled to take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. The game lived up to the hype, following the Packers’ thrilling playoff win the previous season as Dallas led at halftime 21-12. The Packers began clawing their way back with a Mason Crosby field goal in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Packers took their first lead on a pick-six by Damarious Randall. After Dak Prescott gave the Cowboys the lead with 1:13 left, Aaron Rodgers answered the call with a 75-yard drive, ending with a beautiful 12-yard back-shoulder pass to Davante Adams to win the game 35-31 with 11 seconds left. At 4-1, the Packers were sitting atop the NFC Central as they traveled to take on the Minnesota Vikings. It was here that their season came to an abrupt halt as Anthony Barr put a late hit on Aaron Rodgers, landed on him with his body, breaking his collarbone. Rodgers would go on to miss all but one of the final ten games. Brett Hundley, the backup, came into the game and struggled as the Packers lost 23-10. With Rodgers sidelined, Hundley led the Packers down to take on the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome. Once again, Hundley underwhelmed, throwing for 87 yards. Rookie Aaron Jones had a big game, running for 131 yards as the Packers led early 14-7. However, the Saints took over in the second half and won going away 26-17. The Packers, at 4-3, hosted the Detroit Lions in Week 9 and watched helplessly as Matt Stafford put on a clinic, throwing for 361 yards and two touchdowns to beat Green Bay 30-17. Brett Hundley finally got his first win in Week 10, leading the Packers to a 23-16 win at Soldier Field. Nick Perry was a big reason behind the win, leading the defense with three sacks. Week 11 was an absolute disaster for the Packers as they were blanked by the Baltimore Ravens 23-0 on the road. The Packers turned the ball over five times, with Hundley throwing three interceptions with a fumble. A week later, on Sunday Night Football, the Packers slipped below .500 with a 31-28 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-28 at Heinz Field. Despite the loss, Brett Hundley had a strong throwing for 245 yards and three touchdowns. The Packers returned to Lambeau at 5-6 and raced out to a 17-7 lead, thanks to a 62-yard fumble return by Dean Lowry. The Buccaneers rallied and had a 20-17 lead in the fourth quarter. However, Hundley led the Packers down the field to tie the game with a 22-yard Crosby field goal. In overtime, Aaron Jones, on his only run of the game, scored a 20-yard touchdown to seal a 26-20 win. Week 14 on the road against the winless Cleveland Browns showed that Hundley had some of Rodgers’ late-game magic as he connected with Devante Adams with 17 seconds left to tie the game 21-21 after trailing 21-7 entering the fourth quarter. In overtime, Hundley connected with Adams again for a 25-yard touchdown to win the game 27-21. At 7-6, there was renewed hope in Green Bay as Aaron Rodgers returned to face the Carolina Panthers on the road. Rodgers, understandably so, showed rust as threw for 290 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Meanwhile, Cam Newton was slightly better, throwing four touchdown passes to take down the Packers 31-24. At 7-7 and with their playoff hopes extinguished, the Packers decided to shut down Rodgers to heal for the next season fully. Green Bay played its last home game of the season in week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Without Rodgers, the Packers would show little life in their final two games, losing to the Vikings 16-0 and 35-11 against the Lions to close the year at 7-9. It was the first time the Lions swept Green Bay since 1991. Following the season, Ted Thompson was pushed out as General Manager, ushering in a new era in Green Bay. A month later, Jerry Kramer finally got the call he had been waiting for with an induction into the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. (Source: Sportsecyclopedia)
