A year after winning the Lombardi Trophy, the Green Bay Packers‘ 2011 season fell flat in the playoffs after a dominant regular season performance.
But it’s that success over those 16 games that makes them one of the best teams in the NFL in recent memory. Tom Blair of NFL.com has ranked the top 10 teams of the past decade, and that Packers teams comes in at No. 8 on the list.
Blair picked a maximum of one season from each team, which meant the 2010, Super Bowl-winning Packers missed out. While the Packers did win a championship that season, they did so as a wild-card team.
