The 1996 Green Bay Packers season resulted in the Packers a league-best win-loss record at 13-3. In addition, the Packers had the highest-scoring offense in the NFL while allowing the fewest points, the first team to do so since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. In the postseason, the Packers defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI to win their third Super Bowl and twelfth NFL Championship.
