The 1993 season was the Green Bay Packers' 73rd season in the National Football League (NFL), their 75th overall. They had a 9–7 record and won their first playoff berth in 11 years, but their first in a non-strike year in 21 years. The record also marked the first back-to-back winning season since the Packers 1967 season.[1] During the regular season, the Packers finished with 340 points, ranking sixth in the National Football League, and allowed 282 points, ranking ninth. In his third year as a pro and second with the Packers, quarterback Brett Favre led the Packers offense, passing for 3,303 yards and 19 touchdowns.[2] Favre, who played his first full season, was selected to his second of eleven Pro Bowl appearances.
In the playoffs, the Packers played in the NFC Wild Card Game against the Detroit Lions. The Packers pulled off the upset, winning 28–24, closing with a 40-yard touchdown pass from Favre to Sterling Sharpe with 55 seconds left. In the NFC Divisional Playoff Game, the Packers played the defending and eventual repeat Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys, but lost 27–17.
The Packers commemorated their 75th overall season of professional football in 1993 with a "75" logo uniform patch, one year before the NFL's diamond anniversary.
