2004 Green Bay Packers season

The 2004 season was the Green Bay Packers' 84th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 86th overall. The team started the season by losing four of their first five games, before winning their next six in a row, followed by victories over their three divisional opponents in their last five to finish with a 10–6 record and qualify for the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. As the number three seed in the NFC, they hosted their divisional rivals, the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card round, but lost 31–17; it was the second time the Packers had lost a playoff game at Lambeau Field.
