December is the month of the Packers.
Under head coach Matt LaFleur, Green Bay is undefeated in the month of December for the past 16 consecutive games it has played in the final month of the year.
Re-establishing themselves as a serious team in the playoff race over the course of the past month, the Packers (6-6) will look for that streak to continue as they head down a final stretch of games that includes contests against the Giants (4-8) in "Monday Night Football" action, Buccaneers (6-7), Panthers (1-12), Vikings (7-6) and Bears (5-8).
The Packers have turned things around, winning four of their last five games after a 2-5 start to the season, so they're on an upswing that is important to maintain at this stage of the year.
“As soon as you start feeling yourself and you feel like you’ve arrived, this league has a way of knocking you off,” LaFleur said in a recent press conference . “And the bottom line is, we’re a .500 football team. We’re 6-6 right now. We’ve clawed out of a tough spot, but every week, you’ve got to bring your ‘A’ game.”

Here's a look into everything to know about the team's interesting winning streak in the last month of the year:
Packers' December record
The Packers hold a pristine record of 16-0 for the month of December over LaFleur's tenure in Green Bay. That is good for the second-longest streak of the type in the history of the NFL, including the postseason.
Green Bay's most recent December victory came in the form of a 27-19 road win over Kansas City last week.
The only streak longer than that of the Packers for December is held by the 2006-09 Chargers at 18 games. If Green Bay can defeat both the Giants and the Buccaneers, the team will tie the streak.
A following victory over the Vikings on the final day of 2023 would give them the longest December winning streak in league history at 19 games.
Here's a look at every December victory the Packers have had in the streak.
