Things that must happen for 2026 Packers to win Super Bowl LXI

The Green Bay Packers are set to start their 2026 campaign with one goal: winning Super Bowl LXI for the first time since the 2010 season. Jordan Love leads a talented roster, and both sides of the ball have experienced coaching, but the path back to a deep playoff run likely hinges on several specific conditions. First, Green Bay needs better health than last year; injuries derailed them after key defenders Micah Parsons and Zach Bako-Bewele went down. Second, the offensive line must improve after struggles in 2025, including availability concerns tied to knee issues for projected starters. Finally, the run game has to stay viable amid Josh Jacobs’ injury history and potential suspension, with additional uncertainty around other backs.
