His last ride didn't stand a chance against the Saints' love. Ray Lewis and Manning got support from the press for their last run but the media was happy Brett lost.
That Saints team in 2006 wasn't good to beat the Colts. The NFC stunk that year. The Bears rode a defense over a mediocre NFC to win it. The 2009 Saints was good. They had the skill to beat the Colts.
It is not hard to figure out. The opponent isn't important. The Colts just happened to be in both Super Bowls. What is crucial that the 2009 Saints were far superior to the lucky 2006 Saints. The league could fix the game without anyone suspecting because the 2009 Saints were a legitimately good team. The 2006 Bears destroyed the Saints in the NFC Championship Game and in turn got embarrassed by the Colts.
You would have to be an idiot watching that Vikings Saints game if you thought the refs we're doing their job. Favre got murdered. Peterson fumbling 4 times didn't help either but if the refs had even called half of the illegal hits on Favre I would have been a viking Superbowl. Favre had his perfect ending stolen.
I was in a sports bar surrounded by Niner's fans who were all laughing and rubbing it in my face. My wife asked if we should just go after San Fran scored their last points. They showed a close up of Favre spinning the ball on his finger with a look I'd seen for far too long when he was with the Packers. I sat back down and got another earful from the 49er crowd.. My wife asked me why I sat back down and I just smiled and said "Watch..." I'll just say it was immensely gratifying to rub it in some 49er fan's faces that day! Brett later on in an interview said that after that play, he knew the team had something special going on. Were it not for some horrible fumble-itis, a ton of no-calls and some questionable coaching in the Championship game, that would have been our year.
That's legit awesome my man. I'm sorry to have been rude before must have been a bad night ha. Apologies. I was probably jealous of your story. When you said "watch" that must stick with you! That's an awesome internal memory! Cheers from Newtown, CT!
scott clark Everything about that play was unreal. But Lewis could not have been any closer to that line. Farve did a great job keeping it alive but Lewis doesn't get the credit he deserves.
dont want to take anything away from that throw because it was an excellent pass, but lets be honest there are plenty of guys that could have made that throw (brady, manning, possibly the other manning, rodgers, stafford, hell even cutler some days) but it was all the catch. the throw didnt surprise me at all. that was simply an amazing catch off of a good throw.
Andrew Timmerman The way he was sliding to his left and threw it to a receiver running left to right is not something another QB can do or could have done. No one has that arm strength to do all that & still throw it on a line w/ that little air under it.
Ah no. Don't think you're even close to being right? Dude has tons of last minute drives that went successful Hard to beat his drive vs Minnesota at home 9/26/99. UA-cam Brett Favre 99 and watch one of his first passes on that drive. He fucking drops back pumps, runs full circle steps up and delivers a needle 35 yd pass for a first. Then hits Bradford on 4th for a touchdown to win it from 30 out. I was there. His 94 pass to Sharpe for the win basically was another big comeback drive. "He did what?" To Freeman as well. Think before you hype shit
Opposite endzone 2nd to last row upper level...Jumped out of my seat screaming and fell to the floor lol. Then screamed all over again when the zebras said the TD was good after review. What a pass.
Ashame how they got robbed out of a super bowl. The 09 Vikings were no doubt the best team in the NFL that year. Saints had a very good team too but that whole overtime situation was bs. The refs basically put them in field goal range.
Yep, the refs added a rule that said "If you're a Saint, hit the QB way after the throw." It's no surprise that that crew is not in the league anymore. Probably got paid off. Coach Payton and all of those asses who were part of Bountygate should have been perma-banned from the league. Heck, Pete Rose got a LIFETIME BAN from baseball and all he did was was bet on his own team, he wasn't trying to kill anyone. But the NFL needed a feel good story and shredded the rule book to do it. If you're a Saint, kill the QB. If a you're a Saint, having your knees down on the 1 yard line is the same as a TD. Bullshit.
To be fair there were awful plays by everyone that game. There were dumb calls on us, dumb calls on the Saints, not to mention all the stupid turnovers, which is on the Vikes. Yea the bounty thing was stupid but I don't think it's why we lost.
Collin Scherber we lost because of Childress who put 12 guys on the field after a time out to take out of a field goal range on the end of the fourth quarter
I was at that game and it was the most amazing feeling of my football fan life. So loud you couldn't hear your own voice. Strangers going nuts and hugging each other in disbelief. Walking through the streets after the game you could hear fans chanting super bowl, undefeated, Favre! Thank you 2009 Vikings for giving me a truly once in a lifetime experience.
You'd think the Diggs Minneapolis Miracle in 2017 would have been better, but I was at both games, and I gotta agree with you. Favre to Lewis '09 was the most amazing sports moment. I propose this was the most magical 10 days in Metrodome history, 9/27/09 - 10/6/09. Favre to Lewis, then Favre beating ARodg, first game against the Pack, then the Twins winning in extra innings in Game 163. That was a helluva week to be a MN sports fan.
By far the best game I have ever watched in my life. This was the best season ever and most exciting. If only we Minnesotans can get another quarterback like Brett Favre. I miss the good ole days.
7:33 - the reaction... the faces... that says it all when you get beat on the last play. Glad that Minnesota had Brett Favre, even if it was short lived. It takes good players to turn a heave, into something... and great players to turn something into something awesome.
Boy am I glad I didn't leave the dome early. Greatest moment in sports I have ever witnessed. Everyone went absolutely crazy, goosebumps it was so sweet. Loudest I have ever heard at the dome
Wow I'm a packer fan and I love watching favre even as a viking or a jet. One of the best players of all time. And in my opinion, this is the greatest throw I have ever seen
This video is 2 years old and it stills sends a CHILL thru my body when the crowd goes wild after the touchdown. Oh, how I wish I was in the metrodome !
I am 17 years old, I first watched this live on TV in my mothers bedroom when I was only 9 years old. When Greg Lewis caught that ball I remember jumping up running around the house yelling, not even knowing if we won or not. It is strange for me to become a Vikings fan at around 2008 because I fell in love with Brett Favre this year, I never got to see when Brett was a Packer, I only remember him by this year. So old Vikings fans still don't like him, but because of how old I am I love him because of this year. Every time I watch this it still gives me chills and I even tear up a little just thinking about the NFC championship that year. I wont get into the controversy surrounding that game, just know I will be a Vikings fan for life, I will die on the Vikings boat, now let's go cheer on our 2017 team. SKOL VIKINGS!
An absolutely great play, maybe of all time. I was at this game and it was CRAZY!!! It was a great day in Minneapolis and a great day for the Minnesota Vikings and their fans!! Thanks for putting this together!!
Brett deserved this superbowl, saints played dirty and everyone knows it, one of the best if not THE best if all time, only 1 Superbowl on his finger but he should have another, that year was great, ill never forget it
The Saints' dirty play destroyed two HOF Quarterbacks but the media didn't give a crap about Warner and Favre. They instead rode the Katrina story. Talk about bias.
They were so robbed in 2009. Everybody talking about the throw across his body in New Orleans...he made that exact same throw on this drive! The pass to Harvin at about 2:00 is that same throw! it was the longest gain besides the TD! The reason they lost to New Orleans was the REFS! Go ahead and hold the throw against Favre, fine, but the game was tied before then and it stayed tied afterwards until the refs walked the Saints down the field in OT.
i will always remember this game as i was there attending it. i left this game with no voice i lost it from yelling/cheering so much it was the loudest i ever heard the dome. man we really should have won the super bowl that year we so deserved it and great old brett favre i will sure miss the excitement you brought to minnesota that year. thanks to brett favre and all the great memorys he gave us.
I was at the game, the most memorable part, was the two part cheering at 7:34 and 7:37. The scream when he caught it, then the scream when the refs finally gave the touchdown signal 3 seconds later. That game was awesome!!
As a Packer fan I know that feeling, he made it easy to think we were always in it. Then he throws a pick in a championship game and costs you a Super Bowl, I know that feeling too. One word, Rodgers, Go Pack Go!
Moss 84 I have no doubt that they would've beaten the colts. As many turnovers they had against the saints, it still took the saints going into ot to put them away. However, if Favre were still banged up going into the sb, it'd be a tight contest
@@1terraforce Agreed. If the Saints had been reigned in by some much needed flags maybe Favre would have not gotten hit and been able to beat Manning. Our Defense sure would have contained him
Absolutely that was the year vikings shoulda gone and won the superbowl. That team was awesome Favre was awesome I was so hoping, I remember it like yesterday. But I still love the wins he got for us. Vikings deserved a superbowl win , I’m still waiting !
Im a huge Vikings fan, ya kno i hate the packers but I will say that Brett Favre is my all-time favorite quarterback. That season for Vikings fans was unforgettable. Thanks Favre
It's weird, I'm from NZ and It's hard to catch NFL games live here, but somehow I have managed to see some of the most epic moments in recent histroy live. Like this and Lynch's beastmode run.
Was at this one! Opposite corner of the stands. Thought he threw the ball away. Then the crowd in the corner of that endzone erupted. I figured they drew a PI call. Turned out to be a TD 🤯 Classic Favre
First and only vikes game I've gone to see. I'd say over a third of the crowd left after they were stopped on the previous drive. But even with them gone the sound was deafening when Greg Lewis made that catch. I still get chills and I've seen that play a hundred times!
The best portion of this video starts at 8:00. Paul Allen is one of the most electrifying and enjoyable sports commentators I have ever heard. I know I'm not the only one on Sundays who mutes the TV broadcast and tunes to KFAN on the radio.
Huge Packer and Favre fan (and Rodgers too, if that matters), was rooting for one more for the old man as well. Three years later this is still amazing.
I went to this game. No joke. Not lying. I got a stub If anyone wants me to prove myself. It was Awesome. Soo Loud. At the Metrodome. I really thought we were going to lose. Amazing play. :).
I have been a Vikings fan since the KC superbowl loss. (I was 8 at the time). So I have seen many games against the hated packers. Favre was the most hated packer of them all. Never thought I would wear his jersey but I bought it the day he signed. Had my doubts at first but 2009 was our year. This catch will be replayed a billion times and it should. Greg Lewis was in the right place definitely and made a great catch and saved the season and made Minn love Favre. However, the reason the championship game was in NO instead of the metrodome was the loss to the Raiders. If we win there we beat NO and then get that illusive superbowl win. Manning was beatable. We just came up short. Saddest day I believe ever when he tossed that int. Cheer up Viking fans we always have this drive to remember and we can call this our superbowl victory. It would have been sweeter had it been those stupid packers but we will take this as the best play ever for the Vikes.
I imagine it was pretty sweet for Favre no matter the situation. Having built a long and bitter rivalry against the 49ers during his years with the Packers. Good for him...
Best game by Brett Favre. Nothing beats a game winning hail mary for a touchdown with under 3 seconds left when it's touchdown or lose. Especially against a defense like the 49ers.
Watching this live, I knew THAT was a special throw as soon as he let it go. Never mind the circumstances it came in and ramifications thereafter. And I didn't have any ponies in that race. But to get that ball thrown on a rope while rolling out - and with pressure bearing down on him from the back and front... truly great play by one of the all time greats. And let's not forget that in 2009, the 9ers already had the makings of a league leading defense.
I watched this game live, and thought about shutting it off right before this final drive. Im glad I didnt, because it was one of the most memorable finishes I've ever witnessed.
They said for peterson after 4 months he was up and running and thats an amazing thing. I broke my knee last year and I know how tough it is. so that an amazing thing!
Imagine being Greg Lewis, who for the rest of his life can say," Yeah, remember that epic last minute touchdown catch against the Niners in 2009? Yup, that was me!" Fantastic Play!
Still the greatest play I've ever seen. I wanted Favre to win the SB that year so bad. Of course Favre had do a Favre and throw across his body for an int in the NFCCG to destroy that chance.
This is the single greatest football play I ever remember seeing as it happened. There was probably less than a centimeter between Lewis's left foot and the back of the end zone and Favre was about 0.2 seconds away from getting it stripped by #99.
New one now, although I think Diggs 61 yd TD should be called the "Hail Millie" for that 100 year old fan who was at her first game to see that miracle play
I agree, but the funny part was it was only the third game in the season! I had to work that day and was forced to hear it over the radio! I am a hardcore Minnesota fan and that was TORTURE to not be able to see the play until a few hours after that! Gotta hand it to Brett, but still... Greg Lewis made a FREAKSHOW catch.
Favre deserved to win the Super Bowl more than anyone that year.
Couldn't agree more
fuck yeah he did
His last ride didn't stand a chance against the Saints' love.
Ray Lewis and Manning got support from the press for their last run but the media was happy Brett lost.
He would have if Adrian Peterson didnt fumble so much in the NFCCG.
childress lost this game.
Too bad the refs swallowed their whistles in the championship and Brett got beat to hell because of it... The saints didn't deserve that Super Bowl.
+itsaccer That Superbowl was fixed, anyone who remembers understands that the NFL needed the Saints to at least make it if not win it.
+itsaccer Your damn fucking right they don't I still hate them to this day.
That Saints team in 2006 wasn't good to beat the Colts. The NFC stunk that year. The Bears rode a defense over a mediocre NFC to win it.

Wes Steinfield, No lie brother.
Damn my bad lol nice truth then! I re-read it that's classic man lol. Props.
Its all good. Lol We happened to be in the right place at the right time to watch magic.
That's legit awesome my man. I'm sorry to have been rude before must have been a bad night ha. Apologies. I was probably jealous of your story. When you said "watch" that must stick with you! That's an awesome internal memory! Cheers from Newtown, CT!
I really wished we would've won the super bowl that year. We came so close. It would've been awesome. Brett is a legend.
Everybody says the QB made that play but what about Lewis great catch man
scott clark Everything about that play was unreal. But Lewis could not have been any closer to that line. Farve did a great job keeping it alive but Lewis doesn't get the credit he deserves.
I know one man does not a team make
scott clark because many receivers could've caught that but not many qbs could make that throw + under pressure
favre threw a great pass. but greg lewis doesnt get enough credit on this catch
All I can hear "TOUCHDOWN GREG LEWIS! OH MY HEAVENS! WELCOME TO MINNESOTA GREG LEWIS!" hahaha
Ohh Paul Allen
by far probably one of the most spectacular favre wins in his career. One of the best clutch plays in the history of football.
dont want to take anything away from that throw because it was an excellent pass, but lets be honest there are plenty of guys that could have made that throw (brady, manning, possibly the other manning, rodgers, stafford, hell even cutler some days) but it was all the catch. the throw didnt surprise me at all. that was simply an amazing catch off of a good throw.
Andrew Timmerman
Um, no.
Brady and Manning can't move like that. They would have been sacked.
Andrew Timmerman you're fuckin high. absolutely, the catch and effort to stay in bounds was incredible but that throw was perfect
Andrew Timmerman The way he was sliding to his left and threw it to a receiver running left to right is not something another QB can do or could have done. No one has that arm strength to do all that & still throw it on a line w/ that little air under it.
Ah no. Don't think you're even close to being right? Dude has tons of last minute drives that went successful

Every Vikings fan remembers where they were when this happened.
Bremerton, WA. I was in the navy watching the game at the base bar, and there were about 10 49er fans there
I was sitting in the endzone where this touchdown happened. Damn it was beautiful...
Opposite endzone 2nd to last row upper level...Jumped out of my seat screaming and fell to the floor lol. Then screamed all over again when the zebras said the TD was good after review. What a pass.
No joke! I remember it to this day!
'Favre did it!' Gives me goose bumps

Yup, you got it, THAT is exactly why we lost.
That play wouldve never went anywhere if Farve ridnt throw such a pass. That pass was perfectly thrown. Poetry in motion.
Greatest throw in NFL history. I don't think it's debatable.
One of the better catches as well.
I was at that game and it was the most amazing feeling of my football fan life. So loud you couldn't hear your own voice. Strangers going nuts and hugging each other in disbelief.

7:33 - the reaction... the faces... that says it all when you get beat on the last play. Glad that Minnesota had Brett Favre, even if it was short lived. It takes good players to turn a heave, into something... and great players to turn something into something awesome.
As a Vikings fan, have to say Favre is my favorite quarterback. Such a heart and loves the game so much.
Boy am I glad I didn't leave the dome early. Greatest moment in sports I have ever witnessed. Everyone went absolutely crazy, goosebumps it was so sweet. Loudest I have ever heard at the dome
Love the effort from Favre on this play. He got crushed from behind right after the throw, great arm strength.
I was at that game. So much fun. Miss the dome

I do that.
He has a killer business card too
Brett sure was fun to watch. I miss his play.
Probably one of the 5 best regular season throws OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!
Huge Packer and Favre fan (and Rodgers too, if that matters), was rooting for one more for the old man as well. Three years later this is still amazing.
Tyreek hill pushing Lewis while he’s a coach for KC, brought me here. Lol That catch was beautiful!
I went to this game. No joke. Not lying. I got a stub If anyone wants me to prove myself. It was Awesome. Soo Loud. At the Metrodome. I really thought we were going to lose. Amazing play. :).
I have been a Vikings fan since the KC superbowl loss. (I was 8 at the time). So I have seen many games against the hated packers. Favre was the most hated packer of them all.

I was at that game and that was probably the greatest day if my life!!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Best game by Brett Favre. Nothing beats a game winning hail mary for a touchdown with under 3 seconds left when it's touchdown or lose. Especially against a defense like the 49ers.
Watching this live, I knew THAT was a special throw as soon as he let it go. Never mind the circumstances it came in and ramifications thereafter. And I didn't have any ponies in that race. But to get that ball thrown on a rope while rolling out - and with pressure bearing down on him from the back and front... truly great play by one of the all time greats. And let's not forget that in 2009, the 9ers already had the makings of a league leading defense.

Wow is all you can say!!!!
I still get chills every time
Thank you for posting this
I still get tears of joy watching this. Just amazing!
i was watching this at home. probably my favorite moment of this season
The 49ers had so many close heartbreakers like this in 2009...they were lowkey one of the most talented teams in the NFL (especially on defense)
i knew it was a good idea to keep watching. best play. hands down.
Watching this brought tears to my eyes.
indeed, easily the biggest and best catch of his career
best moment in vikings history
I watched this game live, and thought about shutting it off right before this final drive. Im glad I didnt, because it was one of the most memorable finishes I've ever witnessed.
Brett Favre is awesome! The first down throw earlier to Percy Harvin was impressive as well.
Greatest of ALL TIME!!!
Man do I miss this team, so many likeable guys on it
Great throw, great catch, even better footwork. Phenomenal.
This is the forgotten Minneapolis miracle now
Never give up, Sweet words.. I still love this play. Mr Favre...
They said for peterson after 4 months he was up and running and thats an amazing thing. I broke my knee last year and I know how tough it is. so that an amazing thing!
Favre's swim move though..... He's like, "Dude get off me right now." lol
As my dad would say THAT DAMN BRET FAVRE DID IT AGAIN
Imagine being Greg Lewis, who for the rest of his life can say," Yeah, remember that epic last minute touchdown catch against the Niners in 2009? Yup, that was me!" Fantastic Play!
That was awesome!
Excellent throw. Amazing catch.
Sitting here and cry a little as a big Viking fan.... :')

Brett Favre is the greatest player in the history of the nfl, period.
Watched it live amazing
one of the best catches in the history amazing how he got both feet down
remember George W. had commercials for Katrina fund during SB. Rigged? Give Orleans something after there loss from Katrina.
That was my favorite drive I have ever seen
Still the greatest play I've ever seen. I wanted Favre to win the SB that year so bad. Of course Favre had do a Favre and throw across his body for an int in the NFCCG to destroy that chance.
This is the single greatest football play I ever remember seeing as it happened. There was probably less than a centimeter between Lewis's left foot and the back of the end zone and Favre was about 0.2 seconds away from getting it stripped by #99.
New one now, although I think Diggs 61 yd TD should be called the "Hail Millie" for that 100 year old fan who was at her first game to see that miracle play
Chris Payne HBTW first playoff game
I agree, but the funny part was it was only the third game in the season! I had to work that day and was forced to hear it over the radio! I am a hardcore Minnesota fan and that was TORTURE to not be able to see the play until a few hours after that! Gotta hand it to Brett, but still... Greg Lewis made a FREAKSHOW catch.
best td pass I ever watched live
i was there! felt magical....
