What this team lacks is the momentum that carried the Packers into the postseason a year ago. Rather than entering the playoffs on a three-game winning streak as they did last season, the Packers (11-6) head into the playoffs having dropped two straight.

The Green Bay Packers clinched a playoff berth in Week 16, beating the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. Since then, things have gone south quickly for the team, with consecutive losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears.

The Green Bay Packers enter this year’s playoffs with more than just team aspirations riding on the line. For the organization, the postseason represents a chance to improve on last year’s run, where they shocked the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round before falling just short against the powerhouse San Francisco 49ers.
