# 2016 Green Bay Packers season

The 2016 season was the Green Bay Packers' 96th in the National Football League (NFL), their 98th overall and their 11th under head coach Mike McCarthy. Despite a 4–6 start to the season, the Green Bay Packers went on a six-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 defeated the top-seeded and heavily favored 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.

Notes
* As the result of a negative differential in free agent signings and departures that the Packers experienced during the 2015 free agency period, the team received two compensatory selections for the 2016 draft. Free agent transactions that occurred after May 12, 2015 did not impact the team's formula for determining compensatory selections for the 2016 draft.
* Thompson traded three picks to the Indianapolis Colts for their second round (48th overall) and selected Jason Spriggs. Thompson traded the Packers' second round pick (57th overall) a fourth-round pick (125th) and a seventh-round pick (248th).

The Packers went on to rout the Giants 38–13 and would travel to face the top-seeded Cowboys.
