Entering the stretch run of this year’s NFL regular-season race, the Packers’ goal will be to win their fifth straight NFC North Division championship and their 23rd division title overall.
The Packers have won eight NFC North titles since 2002. They won the NFC Central Division four times between 1972 and 1997. They won the NFL Western Conference Central Division in 1967 and the NFL Western Conference five times between 1960 and 1966. They won the NFL Western Division four times: 1936, ’38, ’39 and ’44.
For the record, in 1933, the NFL divided what were then its 10 members into two divisions and instituted a championship game.
