One of the NFL’s eldest franchises made history Sunday in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field.
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 16-10, on Sunday for the franchise’s landmark 800th victory.
The victory came in quarterback Malik Willis‘ first-career start for the Packers. Willis started in place of an injured Jordan Love, and Green Bay relied on a run-heavy approach to get the W. Josh Jacobs rushed 32 times for 151 yards and Matt LaFleur’s team totaled 261 yards on the ground.
Green Bay (1-1) is the first club to reach the milestone mark, improving the franchise’s record to 800-599-38. Trailing behind the Pack for second on the all-time wins list are the Chicago Bears, who enter their Sunday night game at 794-634-42.
The Packers are in their 104th season, having debuted in 1921 as part of the American Professional Football Association. They are the third-oldest club in the NFL, trailing only the Bears (originally the Decatur Staleys) and the Arizona Cardinals (originally the Chicago Cardinals).
