How can Green Bay Packers get over playoff hump? It starts with getting stars healthy

Much has been made of the Green Bay Packers’ inability to get over the playoff hump, not only last season but in the prior six as well under head coach Matt LaFleur. And for good reason.Playoff exits before the Super Bowl, let alone the Divisional Round, may be good enough in other NFL cities. Not Green Bay. And after three consecutive seasons as the NFC’s No. 7 seed and two straight years bowing out in the wild-card round, tensions among the fanbase are understandably high, especially after new team president Ed Policy extended the contracts of both LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst following the 2025 season.Advertisement
