Brett Favre takes over for injured starting quarterback Don Majkowski after Majkowski tears ligaments in his ankle. Favre fumbles the ball four times, but drives the Packers 92 yards in the final 1:08, concluding it with a 35-yard strike to Kitrick Taylor to beat Pittsburgh 24-23. Favre would start every Packers' game from then until Jan. 20, 2008, and would win a Super Bowl in the 1995-96 season.

On a windy, freezing Monday night game against Minnesota, the Packers and Vikings were in overtime at Lambeau Field when Antonio Freeman made what ABC considered the greatest play in Monday Night Football history. Brett Favre, facing a blitz, threw the ball off of his back foot toward Freeman, who was covered by Vikings DB Cris Dishman. The ball caromed off of Dishman's arms, onto Freeman's back, and somehow into the receiver's arms. Dishman, thinking he broke the pass up, prematurely celebrated while Freeman raced into the end zone.
