Favre and the Packers continued posting positive results through the next few seasons, making the playoffs in both [[2002–03 NFL playoffs|2002]] and [[2003–04 NFL playoffs|2003]] and finishing with 12–4 and 10–6 records. However, they did suffer their first home playoff loss in [[2002 Green Bay Packers season|2002]] at the hands of the [[2002 Atlanta Falcons season|Atlanta Falcons]], and [[4th and 26|a heartbreaking playoff loss]] to the [[2003 Philadelphia Eagles season|Eagles]] in 2003.
