==Rivalries== ===Divisional=== ====Chicago Bears==== {{main|Bears–Packers rivalry}} The Packers and [[Chicago Bears]] have been rivals since their team's inception in 1920, becoming one of the oldest and most storied rivalries in the league's history. The Packers currently lead the series 107–95–6,<ref>{{cite news |last=Rosenthal |first=Phil |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-bears-tv-ratings-spt-1022-20161021-story.html |title=Cubs clobber Bears in Thursday's TV ratings |work=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=October 21, 2016 |access-date=December 18, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161218022815/http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-cubs-bears-tv-ratings-spt-1022-20161021-story.html |archive-date=December 18, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> and the teams have met twice in the postseason. The Bears won the 1941 meeting, 33–14, and eventually defeated the [[New York Giants]] in the [[1941 NFL Championship Game]], and the Packers won the 2011 meeting, 21–14, en route to a [[Super Bowl XLV]] win over the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]]. The teams' first meeting was a victory for the Bears (known as the Staleys at the time) in 1921 in a shutout, 20–0. The Packers claimed their first win over the Bears in 1925, 14–10. The 1924 matchup (which ended in a 3–0 win for Chicago) was notable for featuring the first-ever ejection of players in a game in NFL history, as [[Frank Hanny]] of the Bears and [[Tillie Voss|Walter Voss]] of the Packers were ejected for punching each other.<ref name="m380">{{cite web | last=Cahill | first=Michael | title=Packers vs. Bears NFC Championship Game: 15 Fun Facts About This NFL Rivalry | website=Bleacher Report | date=January 17, 2011 | url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/575338-packers-vs-bears-nfc-championship-game-15-fun-facts-about-this-nfl-rivalry | access-date=August 25, 2024 | archive-date=August 25, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240825235829/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/575338-packers-vs-bears-nfc-championship-game-15-fun-facts-about-this-nfl-rivalry | url-status=live }}</ref> The rivalry also featured one of the last successful [[fair catch kick]]s in 1968, when Bears kicker [[Mac Percival]] kicked the game-winning field goal.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mayer |first=Larry |date=March 9, 2012 |title=Bears shocked Pack with late free kick |url=http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=8676 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415035631/http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=8676 |archive-date=April 15, 2012 |access-date=August 3, 2012 |website=ChicagoBears.com}}</ref> As of the 2024 season, the Packers lead the all-time series 108–96–6.<ref name="f696">{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=chi&yr=all | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 14, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240814082930/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=chi&yr=all | url-status=live }}</ref> ====Minnesota Vikings==== {{Main|Packers–Vikings rivalry}} The rivalry between the Packers and [[Minnesota Vikings]] began in [[1961 NFL season|1961]], similar to their other divisional rivalries. It is also considered to be one of the most intense rivalries in the NFL, due to the intensity of most of the matchups over the years, As is the case with many of their respective state's college teams sharing a rivalry; ([[Minnesota]] and [[Wisconsin]]) have a rivalry in multiple sports, seen between the [[Big Ten]] rivals, the [[University of Wisconsin]] and [[University of Minnesota]]. Events such as [[Randy Moss]] [[mooning]] the [[Green Bay, Wisconsin|Green Bay]] crowd in the first playoff game between these two teams (won by the Vikings), and former Packer great [[Brett Favre]]'s move to the Vikings have created more resentment between these teams. The Packers lead the all-time series 66–60–3, despite the two teams splitting their two playoff contests.<ref name="r123">{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=min&yr=all | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240813012706/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=min&yr=all | url-status=live }}</ref> ====Detroit Lions==== {{Main|Lions–Packers rivalry}} The Packers' rivalry with the [[Detroit Lions]] has been another one of the oldest regular matchups in the NFL. They first met in 1930 when the Lions were known as the [[Portsmouth Spartans]] and based in [[Portsmouth, Ohio]]. The team eventually moved to Detroit for the 1934 season. The Lions and Packers have been division rivals since 1933 and have always met at least twice a season since 1932, without any canceled games between both rivals. The Packers lead the series 106–78–7 as of the end of the 2024 season, the first time in NFL history that a team has recorded 100 wins over an opponent.<ref name="f273">{{cite web | title=All Matchups, Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions | website=Pro-Football-Reference.com | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=det&yr=all | access-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-date=August 13, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240813012547/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=gnb&tm2=det&yr=all | url-status=live }}</ref> ===Conference=== ====Dallas Cowboys==== {{Main|Cowboys–Packers rivalry}} The rivalry between the Packers and [[Dallas Cowboys]] has resulted in several notable games in league history, including the "[[1967 NFL Championship Game|Ice Bowl]]" and other games impacting the playoff race.<ref name="l377">{{cite web | last=Hurley | first=Scott | title=Memorable moments and dramatic games have defined Packers-Cowboys playoff history | website=WLUK | date=January 10, 2024 | url=https://fox11online.com/sports/packers-and-nfl/green-bay-dallas-cowboys-postseason-playoff-matchups-history-rundown-ice-bowl-nfc-chmpionship-games-dez-caught-the-ball | access-date=August 25, 2024 | archive-date=August 25, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240825235509/https://fox11online.com/sports/packers-and-nfl/green-bay-dallas-cowboys-postseason-playoff-matchups-history-rundown-ice-bowl-nfc-chmpionship-games-dez-caught-the-ball | url-status=live }}</ref> The rivalry heated up during the 2010s, with several of their games impacting the NFC playoff race during that decade.
