The Green Bay Packers had a rollercoaster season in 2015, finishing with a 10-6 record and securing a spot in the playoffs. While the team struggled with injuries and inconsistencies throughout the year, they were able to rally and make a push towards the postseason.
Offense
The Packers offense was led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who had another solid season despite dealing with injuries to key players. Wide receiver Jordy Nelson missed the entire year with a torn ACL, but Randall Cobb and Davante Adams stepped up in his absence. The running game struggled at times, with Eddie Lacy dealing with weight issues and James Starks being inconsistent.
Defense
The Packers defense was up and down throughout the season, but finished in the top 10 in both points allowed and yards allowed. The pass rush was led by linebacker Clay Matthews, while the secondary was anchored by cornerback Sam Shields. However, the defense struggled to create turnovers and had trouble stopping the run at times.
Special Teams
The Packers special teams unit was solid throughout the season, with kicker Mason Crosby and punter Tim Masthay both having solid years. The return game struggled, however, with Micah Hyde and Jeff Janis both struggling to make an impact.
Playoffs
The Packers entered the playoffs as a wildcard team, and faced off against the Washington Redskins in the opening round. Despite struggling early on, the team rallied in the second half and came away with a 35-18 victory. However, their season came to an end the following week, as they were defeated by the Arizona Cardinals in a thrilling overtime game.
Conclusion
While the 2015 season may not have been the Packers' best, the team showed resilience and determination in making a playoff push. With key players returning from injury and new additions to the roster, the Packers will look to build on their success in the upcoming season.
