Next up are Da Bears! They constituted our second consecutive victim (after the must-win over the Giants in Week 16) in this Long March to what will be our league-leading 13th NFL Championship.
The Packers have a mere 12 championship now:
- 1929-1930-1931 [first three-peat]
- 1936
- 1939
- 1944
- 1961-1962
- 1965-1966-1967 [second three-peat], and
- 1996.
No other team in NFL has ever three-peated, nor won 5 championships in 7 years. Bart Starr is also the only QB ever to win 5 championships.
This is creed I was raised to believe in.
The Bears, BTW, are second in the NFL with 9 league championships. Steelers have six (4th after the Giants, who have 7 total), Jets just the one.
Learn your NFL history, which begins in 1920 with only the Bears (originally Decatur Staleys) surviving from that year, to be joined by the Packers in 1921--the oldest continuously operating team with the same team name. Steelers began in the - real - NFL in 1933. Jets are the only true AFL team still in hunt, having started with that league in 1960 as the Titans.
