Although it was not apparent at the time, the 1944 title season was the start of a long decline for the Packers. Following their 1944 championship, the Packers finished 6–4 in 1945 and 6–5 in 1946. After the NFL established a uniform 12-game season in 1947, Green Bay won six games, lost five, and had one tie. In 1948, the Packers fell to 3–9, only the second losing season in franchise history and their first since 1933. The team bottomed out in 1949 with a record of 2-10, at the time the worst season in franchise history.
