  • The 1978 Green Bay Packers season was their 60th season overall and their 58th season in the National Football League. The team posted an 8–7–1 record under coach Bart Starr, earning them a second-place finish in the NFC Central division. This marked the first season the Packers were above .500 since 1972. The Packers got off to a 6–1 start. However, most of the wins came against weaker teams, and once the schedule toughened up the Packers struggled winning only one and tying one of their next six games. After a big win in Tampa Bay over the Buccaneers, the 8–5–1 Packers still had a shot at a NFC Central Title. However, the team would lose both of their final games, closing out with a 31–14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and at 8–7–1 finished in a first-place tie with Minnesota. Since the Packers' record against the Vikings was 0–1–1 due to a 10–10 tie and a 7–21 loss, Green Bay missed the playoffs as the Eagles also leap-frogged the Packers for the final Wild Card spot, which the Packers would've still clinched at minimum regardless of the Vikings' result for the NFC Central.

  • La stagione 1978 dei Green Bay Packers è stata la 58ª della franchigia nella National Football League. Sotto la direzione del capo-allenatore al quarto anno Bart Starr, la squadra terminò con un record di 8-7-1, chiudendo seconda nella Central Division. Fu la prima stagione con più vittorie che sconfitte dal 1972. I Packers ebbero una partenza con un record di 6–1, anche se molte di quelle vittorie giunsero contro squadre deboli e quando il calendario si fece più ostico Green Bay vinse solo una delle successive sei gare. Dopo una netta vittoria a Tampa Bay sui Buccaneers, i Packers, con un record di 8–5–1, erano ancora in testa alla division. Tuttavia, la squadra perse entrambe le ultime gare, chiudendo con un record di 8–7–1 alla pari con Minnesota. Dal momento che il record dei Packers contro i Vikings era 0-1-1, Green Bay mancò i playoff visto che anche gli Eagles sopravanzarono Green Bay per l'ultima wild card. (it)
