<P> The 2016 Green Bay Packers season was their 98th season overall , 96th season in the National Football League , and the 11th under head coach Mike McCarthy . Despite a 4 - 6 start to the season , the Packers went on a 6 - game winning streak to finish the regular season with a 10 -- 6 record . The team clinched the NFC North for the fifth time in six years with their week 17 win over the Detroit Lions . They routed the fifth - seeded New York Giants 38 -- 13 in the wild card round of the playoffs and upset the top - seeded Dallas Cowboys 34 -- 31 in the divisional round of the playoffs , but their season came to an end when they were beat by the second - seeded Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game 44 -- 21 . </P>
