The
1995 season was the
Green Bay Packers' 75th
season in the
National Football League (NFL), their 77th overall. The Packers finished with an 11–5 record in the regular season and won the
NFC Central, their first division title since
1982. In the playoffs, the Packers defeated the
Atlanta Falcons 37–20 at home and the defending champion
San Francisco 49ers 27–17, on the road before losing to the
Dallas Cowboys 38–27, in the NFC Championship Game.[1] Packers' quarterback
Brett Favre (who had the best season of his entire career) was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player, the first of three such awards he would win.[2]
This was the first season that the Packers played home games exclusively at
Lambeau Field, after playing part of their home slate at
Milwaukee County Stadium since 1953. After losing their home opener to St. Louis, the Packers would win an NFL-record 25 consecutive home games between the rest of 1995 and early in 1998.
With their third pick (66th overall) in the 1995 NFL draft, the Packers selected future All-Pro fullback
William Henderson,[3] a player who would remain with the Packers for over 13 seasons.[4]
