No, Pack, no: Missing Micah Parsons, Green Bay ties grim NFL record -- and may currently be NFC's worst team

The Green Bay Packers are enduring a six-game skid, their longest slump since before Brett Favre took over under center in the early 1990s. The slide began when premier pass rusher Micah Parsons suffered a torn ACL during the third quarter of a Week 15 clash in Denver, where Green Bay surrendered a nine-point advantage after halftime.

The inability to protect leads continued in Week 16, as Chicago erased a 10-point deficit over the final two minutes of regulation before Caleb Williams connected with DJ Moore on a 46-yard overtime score. Green Bay followed that by squandering an 18-point second-half margin—and an 11-point edge with five minutes left—in a historic Wild Card playoff collapse against the Bears, before opening the 2026 season by yielding 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points in a 17-point defeat at Minnesota despite having led by 12.
