1985 Green Bay Packers

The 1985 Green Bay Packers season was their 65th season in the National Football League. The club posted a 8–8 record under coach Forrest Gregg, earning them a second-place finish in the NFC Central division.

Regular season
The team finished with an 8-8 record for the third consecutive season. The club was 5-3 at home and 3-5 on the road.

Snow Bowl
The Snow Bowl was a National Football League game played on December 1, 1985 between the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Snow had begun to fall heavily that morning and continued throughout the day. By kickoff, the roads were impossible to navigate preventing many fans from attending. This gave the game the dubious distinction of having over 36,000 "no-shows," the most in Packers history. However, 19,856 fans did make it through the gates, many of whom arrived by snowmobile.

The game itself saw the Packers dominate the Buccaneers en route to a 21-0 victory. The Packers offense gained 512 total yards to the Buccaneers' 65. During the game, Packers defensive end Alphonso Carreker sacked Buccaneers quarterback and future Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee Steve Young a then team record four times.
