The 2017 Green Bay Packers season was the franchise 's 99th season overall, 97th season in the National Football League (NFL), and the 12th under head coach Mike McCarthy. After reaching the NFC Championship Game in the previous season, the team attempted to improve on their 10–6 record from 2016. However, the team was eliminated from postseason contention after Week 15, marking the first time since 2008 that they failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The Packers started out strong, compiling a 4–1 record, but during a week 6 game against their division rival Minnesota Vikings, the Packers lost starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a collarbone injury and eventually ended with a 7–9 record despite his attempted return in a loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 15. A blowout 35–11 loss to the Detroit Lions in week 17 secured the Packers’ first losing season since 2008.
