Who was the head coach of the team that stopped the Green Bay packers from getting their 5th consecutive NFC North title?
2015 Green Bay Packers season The Green Bay Packers season was the franchise's 96th season in the National Football League, the 97th overall, and the tenth under head coach Mike McCarthy. With a Week 15 win over the Oakland Raiders, the Packers clinched a playoff spot for the seventh consecutive season, but they failed to win their fifth consecutive NFC North title with a Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, the fifth-seeded Packers traveled to Washington to face the fourth-seeded Redskins in the Wild Card round. They would end up beating the Redskins 35–18 and traveled to Arizona for a Week 16 rematch against the second-seeded Arizona Cardinals. However, the Packers' season would end as they lost a shootout to the Cardinals in overtime, 20–26.
