Green Bay Packers have a chance to make it back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2010. This will be their third time attempting to get to the Super Bowl after making it in 2010. They likely should have been there in 2014 when all things went to shit against Seattle. 2016 might have been one of the more ridiculous teams in the conference championship game ever. LaDarius Gunter on Julio Jones was such a bad idea. Now, this Packers team has a much better shot in 2020. If the Packers get there or win, they will make a move towards the top of NFL history. The same goes for Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur.

Packers can tie for the most playoff wins in NFL history
– If the Packers win on Sunday, they will tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second in all-time playoff wins. If the Packers win the Super Bowl, they tie the New England Patriots for the most playoff wins. Packers’ fifth Super Bowl would put them with Dallas and San Francisco and one behind New England and Pittsburgh. Coincidentally, San Francisco would have the most Super Bowls in NFC if they win this year.

Aaron Rodgers can continue to make his stamp on his legacy
– If Aaron Rodgers throws two touchdowns on Sunday, he will tie Peyton Manning for the fourth-most touchdowns in playoff history. There is a chance that he could tie Brett Favre if they made it to the Super Bowl. Rodgers will likely finish second behind Tom Brady when he’s done with his career. Second Super Bowl or not, Rodgers has been fantastic in the postseason.

– If Rodgers throws for 300 yards this week, he would be the sixth quarterback to have 5,000 passing yards in the playoffs joining Favre, Brady, Manning, Joe Montana, and Ben Roethlisberger.

Matt LaFleur can be the sixth rookie head coach to make the Super Bowl
– While it might seem unlikely, there have been five coaches who have made their Super Bowl in the first year. LaFleur could join that same fraternity.

– Rookie coaches are 2-3 in Super Bowl appearances (Note: One thing that might make you nervous is none of them had great coaching careers after their Super Bowl appearance)

I know people like to give the Packers a hard time about not making the Super Bowl, but they’ve had a long playoff legacy already. Let’s hope they build on it Sunday.
