The Packers began their season at Lincoln Financial Field against the throwback-cladded Philadelphia Eagles. Green Bay trailed in the first quarter as Eagles kicker David Akers made a 45-yard field goal. The Packers would then take control in the second quarter as kicker Mason Crosby nailed a 49-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Aaron Rodgers completing a 6-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Donald Driver. Crosby would then end the half with a 56-yard field goal.

Eagles starting quarterback Kevin Kolb left the game with concussion at halftime, and was replaced by second string quarterback Michael Vick for the remainder of the contest.

Philadelphia would respond in the third quarter as running back LeSean McCoy scored on a 12-yard touchdown run, yet Green Bay came right back with Rodgers finding wide receiver Greg Jennings on a 32-yard touchdown pass. The Eagles tried to rally in the fourth quarter as quarterback Michael Vick completed a 17-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, followed by a 24-yard field goal from Akers. Fortunately, the Packers' defense prevented any further progress stopping Michael Vick on a key 4th and 1 rush up the middle for no gain.

With the win, Green Bay not only began its season at 1–0, but also got its first victory in Philadelphia since 1962.

However, the Packers victory was not without cost. During the game Justin Harrell injured his ACL and Ryan Grant injured his ankle. Both players were placed on injured reserve for the rest season.

The Packers finished the 2010 regular season vs the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field. Going into the final Sunday of the season, the Packers needed a win or a New York Giants and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss to clinch the sixth and final NFC wild card seed. The Bears on the other hand had the NFC North Division title and the number 2 NFC seed wrapped up, though played their starters for the entire contest. Tampa defeated the New Orleans Saints in their 1 o'clock contest before the Packers game, so the Packers had to come out of the game with a win.

During the first quarter, the Packers and Bears offenses exchanged possession with no scoring. The Bears forced a turnover with 5:58 left in the 1st when Donald Driver was stripped of the ball after an 8 yard reception and the fumble was recovered by the Bears.

In the second quarter, the Bears put their first and only points on the board for the day when Robbie Gould successfully converted a 30 yard field goal with 4:35 left in the half. The scoring drive was highlighted with two 20+ yard passes by Jay Cutler to WR Rashied Davis and RB Matt Forte to get them into field goal range. The teams entered went into half time of the defensive contest with the Bears holding onto a slim 3–0 lead.

After the half, the Bears started the quarter with the ball. After moving the ball into Packers territory, the Bears chose to go for it on a fourth and two at the Packers 40. Jay Cutler failed to complete a short pass to Rashied Davis and the Packers took over on downs. On the Packers first play of the second half, Rodgers threw a deep pass intended for Greg Jennings but the pass was intercepted by CB Charles Tillman and returned to the Packers 15 yard line. The interception was challenged but upheld. After a holding penalty and a couple of short gains by the Bears, Jay Cutler was intercepted on 3rd down in the endzone by Packers safety Charlie Peprah for a touchback.

The Packers and Bears swapped possessions and CB Tramon Williams returned the Bears punt back to the Bears 44 yard line to set the Packers up in optimal field position. Three plays into the drive, Aaron Rodgers completed a 33 yard pass to Greg Jennings down to the Bears 1 yard line. The Packers failed to score a touchdown and settled for a 23 yard field goal attempt by Mason Crosby which was successfully converted to tie the game at 3–3.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Packers had possession and again got into the red zone highlighted by two key plays, a 21 yard pass over the middle to Donald Driver and a 46 yard pass deep right to Greg Jennings that set up the Packers for a 1st and goal at the Bears 1 yard line for the second time of the game. This time though, the Packers scored a touchdown on 1st down when Aaron Rodgers completed a pass into the end zone to Donald Lee short right for his second 1 yard touchdown reception in two games to give the Packers a 10–3 lead with 12:46 remaining in the game.

After exchanging possessions, the Bears took over with 4:49 left in the game at the Bears 2 yard line. The Bears moved the ball into Packers territory with many short passes down to the Packers 32 yard line. Needing a touchdown to tie the game, the Bears continued to pass the ball but their drive came to an end when Cutler passed deep left to Devin Hester and the pass was intercepted by Nick Collins and returned 24 yards to the Bears 35 yard line.

With the interception, the Packers sealed their victory over the rival Bears along with the 6th seed in the NFL playoffs. The Giants later won their game against the Redskins, but it was all for naught due to the Packers holding tie breakers over the Giants and Buccaneers.
