NFL team season
The
2006 Green Bay Packers season
was the franchise's 88th season overall and their 86th in the
National Football League
(NFL).
This season resulted in an 8?8 record. After the firing of
Mike Sherman
,
[1]
the Packers hired
Mike McCarthy
as their head coach.
[2]
2006 would be McCarthy's first year as head coach. The Packers improved from 4?12 the previous year to a .500 win average in 2006. The Packers were effectively eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight year after the
New York Giants
gained the decisive tie-breaker over the Packers in the last week of the
2006 NFL season
.
Offseason
[
edit
]
After some uncertainty, quarterback
Brett Favre
announced on April 26, 2006, that he would indeed return for the 2006 season.
[3]
[4]
The Packers also acquired
Oakland Raiders
three-time
Pro Bowl
cornerback
Charles Woodson
through free agency later that day.
[5]
He officially signed with the team on May 9.
The Packers drafted Ohio State linebacker
A. J. Hawk
with the fifth overall pick in the
2006 NFL Draft
on April 29, 2006. The Packers also traded star wide receiver (and potential holdout)
Javon Walker
to the Denver Broncos for a second round pick, which they then traded for multiple picks.
Undrafted free agents
[
edit
]
The Packers picked up notable undrafted free agent
Tramon Williams
during the 2006 offseason, who later became the starting corner for the Super Bowl Champion
2010 Green Bay Packers
. He was also selected but did not participate in the
2010 Pro Bowl
.
Free agents
[
edit
]
The Packers signed two notable free agents, CB
Charles Woodson
from the
Oakland Raiders
and DT
Ryan Pickett
from the
St Louis Rams
. Woodson would later be named the 2009 NFC Defensive Player of the Year and both players were integral parts of the
2010 Green Bay Packers
Super Bowl Championship team.

Packers defensive end, Aaron Kampman had three sacks in the game.
[40]
The game marked only the third time in NFL history when the losing team scored the only touchdown off a defensive turnover, the first coming from another 9?7 result at
Lambeau Field
between the Packers and Vikings with the Vikings beating the Packers in that contest.

Game summary
[
edit
]
On New Year's Eve, the Packers traveled to Chicago to face the Bears at Soldier Field. The Bears had already clinched the #1 seed, however with the new
NFL flexible-scheduling
in effect the game was moved to the Sunday night because of possible playoff implications and the possibility of it being Brett Favre's last game.
However, the Packers were all but eliminated from the playoffs when the
New York Giants
effectively clinched the decisive tie-breaker (strength of victory) with a win on December 30. Technically, New York's victory on Saturday did not mathematically eliminate Green Bay, however it meant the Packers needed the results of
eight
other Sunday games besides their own to go their way (moreover, with the underdogs in each of those games winning) to still be able to qualify with a win. This did not happen, and so the Packers were conclusively eliminated before taking the field Sunday evening.
On the first drive of the game, the Packers drove the ball 75 yards, resulting in a 9-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre to receiver Donald Driver. Later in the first quarter, Packers free safety
Nick Collins
intercepted quarterback
Rex Grossman
, returning the ball 55 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter Rex Grossman threw his third interception of the game.
Patrick Dendy
returned the interception 33 yards for a touchdown. The Packers finished the half winning 23?0, with their defense forcing four turnovers.
Starting the second half,
Brian Griese
replaced Rex Grossman at quarterback. The Bears scored their first and only points of the game with a 75-yard touchdown pass to receiver
Mark Bradley
from Brian Griese in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Packers increased their lead with a 46-yard field goal by Dave Rayner. The Bears had the ball only once in the fourth quarter. The drive ended in an interception by Nick Collins, recording his second of the game. Late in the game, Favre was replaced by quarterback
Ingle Martin
. Favre was carried off the field by Donald Driver, receiving many hugs by players and coaches. In an interview after the game, Favre broke down in tears. It was still at the time unclear whether Favre will retire or return to the Packers,
[43]
but Favre announced in February that he would return to play with the Packers.
[44]
The Packers offense recorded 373 yards of offense. Brett Favre completed 21 of 42 passes with one touchdown and one interception. On defense, the Packers forced six turnovers. Five of the turnovers were interceptions. The Bears starting quarterback Rex Grossman recorded only a 0.0 quarterback rating in one half of play. With the win, the Packers moved to 8?8, improving on their record of 4?12 from the previous year.
