Packers defeat Colts at Lambeau to become first franchise with 800 wins 

From NFL.com

“One of the NFL’s eldest franchises made history Sunday in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 16-10, on Sunday for the franchise’s landmark 800th victory.

The victory came in quarterback Malik Willis‘ first-career start for the Packers. Willis started in place of an injured Jordan Love, and Green Bay relied on a run-heavy approach to get the W. Josh Jacobs rushed 32 times for 151 yards and Matt LaFleur’s team totaled 261 yards on the ground.

Green Bay (1-1) is the first club to reach the milestone mark, improving the franchise’s record to 800-599-38. Trailing behind the Pack for second on the all-time wins list are the Chicago Bears, who enter their Sunday night game at 794-634-42.

The Packers are in their 104th season, having debuted in 1921 as part of the American Professional Football Association. They are the third-oldest club in the NFL, trailing only the Bears (originally the Decatur Staleys) and the Arizona Cardinals (originally the Chicago Cardinals).”
