The 2001 Green Bay Packers enjoyed a resurgent season, finishing with a strong 12-4 record and returning to the postseason for the first time since 1998. Led by Pro Bowlers Brett Favre, Ahman Green, and Bubba Franks, the team featured a high-powered offense and a formidable defense that both ranked 5th in the league for points. Highlights included a perfect 6-0 record against NFC Central opponents and a 25-15 Wild Card playoff victory over the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field. Founded in 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, the Green Bay Packers are the only community-owned, non-profit franchise in the NFL and hold a league-record 13 championships, including four Super Bowl titles.
