NFL Schedule Release: Green Bay Packers Land in Primetime 5 Times

The Green Bay Packers may have lost a lot of their star power with the departure of future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, but the NFL Schedule makers haven't taken notice.

The Packers, along with the rest of the league, learned of their complete schedule last night for the 2023 season, and it's safe to say that they'll be given an opportunity to shine under the bright lights.

The Packers will have a total of 5 primetime games, and 6 'stand alone' games, games in which the team is playing in the only game on television at the time, a.k.a Thanksgiving.

Opening the season against the rival Chicago Bears on the road isn't the easiest task for a first-time starter, but we will know right out of the gate the caliber of player that Jordan Love can be under pressure.

It's not the world's hardest schedule, which will give Packers fans everywhere hope that the team might not have the record of a 'rebuilding' team after all.

Ten Most Disappointing Minnesota Sports Seasons

The 2021 Minnesota Twins entered the season with high expectations, but unfortunately, they've made the list of most disappointing Minnesota teams of all time.

Disappointment is a common feeling for Minnesota sports fans as the years continue. Following the NBA Championship win for Milwaukee, SportsCenter was quick to point out that Minnesota has the current longest streak of seasons without a championship appearance in the four major sports (MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL). The Minnesota Lynx also chimed in on the stat after claiming four championships since 2011.

The ten teams that are on this list all follow a similar pattern. The year prior was either a great season with a playoff run or one that featured a strong core of players that appeared to have taken the next step. Offseason/preseason expectations were high with even Las Vegas oddsmakers believing in a deep run. Unfortunately, those preseason expectations fell short for the following teams. None of the teams listed below made the playoffs.
