The ‘96 Packers may have been the best Packer team ever. Literally no flaws with the team whatsoever. #1 offense, #1 defense, and best kickoff and punt returner.
Arguably one of the best NFL teams period.
The Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars making title games in their 2 nd season are great stories
thank you for being the only person in this thread to point that out, though this is the Packers best season so I know they don't owe it to us to give credit but to be up against a great team as GB my Panthers still xame to the Frozen Tundra and those we still got crushed us being in only our second season did more than we were predicted to do in icey weather at that.
Imagine if they both made the Super Bowl lol I called it the Cat Bowl and some over zealous guy on here was like ohhh it would have been the expansion bowl, not the cat bowl 😂😂😂😂😂
@@benjibarrett8347 I'm guessing the Panthers running game was stuffed 'cause I saw a lot of Kerry Collins. He looked good tho
Will there ever be another duo like Summerall and Madden? Damn, they could call games like no other. Miss you guys.
Me too they are the best ever to me
I will forever argue that the '96 Packers are one of the best teams in the history of the NFL. They really had no flaws.
#1 offense & #1 defense...yeah that's pretty good.
@@MRoo1oo And the special teams weren't too shabby either. Best returner that year in Howard, best punter/kickoff guy in Hentrich, and Chris Jacke was good enough.
2012 Packers could have been..still don't know how they flunked
The 99 Rams played 1 of the Easiest Schedules in NFL History.
Only flaw was the inability to beat the Cowboys. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the Packers host them in the NFC Championship to see if they could finally take the torch.
That 96 Packer team was flashy and explosive with a playmaking defense while Desmond Howard was the X factor on special teams. This was the Packers best team to date...
still sucks that sterling was forced to retire 2 years before
Favre and Antonio Freeman were a duo that was like steve young and Jerry rice. Underrated qb-wr duo
@@justink9912 delusions of grandeur lol, I don't think so
@@ihl8608 ? Uhmmmmm thats a very GOOD opinion.
@@ihl8608 got a feeling you base most of your opinions off, "grandeur" delusions lmao. Your favorite team the one that wins the Superbowl too?
I remember watching this game over at my parents house with my wife. My mom was cooking burgers and brats on the grill. Never saw my dad so excited! We lived through the "lean years" of the 70s and 80s. Seeing the Packers win the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl for the first time in my lifetime!
The Super Bowl in the NFL Championship
SAME. DAD YELLING AT THE TV LIKE A LUNATIC. GO BABY SO LOUD THE NEIGHBORS GOT A LAUGH.
What are brats?

I was at this one. Nothing like being there seeing Packer history being made.
I was at the previous years divisional playoff where we held B.Sanders to 0 yards. It was FRIGID that game too. But we lost to Dallas the following week. This HAD to be AMAZING.
@@EdsterIII I remember that game too although it would have been 2 years prior to this one. The year before this was when they beat Atlanta at Lambeau and SF on the road before losing to Dallas.
I had a ticket, but I came down with a 104-degree fever the week before. I was on the couch trying to stay awake the whole game!
You had Covid-19 in 1997.
I was there, it was amazing...
"Dom Capers the coach of the year" is not a phrase I thought I'd hear
His first year as Packers DC he almost was if it existed for coordinators. People always forget that.
Mike Smithmyer Lol 😂💯💯💯
THIS was Packers football. Smash mouth hitting from Newsome, Eugene and Leroy in the secondary. Dotson, Reggie, and big Gilbert holding it down up front. Running the ball with Levens and Bennet. Favre tossing to Freeman, Rison, Chewy, and Bebee slicing up a great Carolina defense with Lathan, Green, and Mills. Desmond and Jacke doing their thing on special teams. Holmgren calling a good game. With Summerall and Madden from the booth! Classic Packers game that I'll never forget. GO PACK GO!
Great comment. Holmgren did call good games on offense at this stage. Opposing defense didn't know what was coming next. It was SF esque
Man where does life go time flies I remember watching this game as a kid I am 42 years old now I wish I could go back the big boy Packers I miss them I definitely miss the Gunslinger Brett Favre
good memories!
Same. I was 11. Now 37 years old. Crazy
@@CesarPerez-it8xy makes me wanna cry
@@erics2739 wanna hear something that made me almost cry. I went to the green bay vs 49ers playoffs game 3 weeks ago. All the way from California just to take that BIG fat L.
I remember this game, I would love to go back in time and relive that all over again, I was 26 years old then now I am 53, how time fly's!!!!
People forget how Good Brett Favre actually was in his prime under Holmgren. He was easily one of the GOAT QB's in the league.
Only after Holmgren left he became an interception machine.
Brett Favre is not a goat what so ever.... No repeat and known to throw a bonehead int in the playoffs...... BTW..... and he has the most ints of all time
@@robbturner2285 wow rob thanks for that info. next time tell us something we don't know.
@robbturner2285 Also played longer than 99.9% of all QBs. Did he have the highest INT percentage? No, not even close. He held every passing record at one time when he was done along with consecutive starts that will likely never be broken. What have you done outside of write BS on YT?
Packer fan since 1966 got to talk with Ray nitschke he signed a picture of him rookie year, standing beside Vince Lombardi. I've watched Tons of packer games. Looking forward to the2020 season. Go pack all the way!
That is an awesome memory! I have been a fan since 1994 my first few memories. I still have a personalized Bart Star signature with a letter packaging! Just an awesome franchise in every aspect!
Lets win today!
Rodgers choked again
Both teams haven't changed their jersey's that much since this game
Abdiqalis Mohamud GB is one of those sports teams I doubt will ever change a thing about their appearance, like the Yankees.
Ive been watching AFC-NFC championship games here on youtube over the last week from the 80s & 90s- there is no comparison to the intensity of the crowd noise excitement every time the Packers make a big play or TD to the other games ive watched. The Closest thing to the noise of this fan intensity and Excitement was the 1985 NFC game at Solider Field when the Bears won it.
Over the rams?
@@ericpackers1700 Yeah
The nostalgia! I couldn't picture myself being a fan of another team! It's been go pack 💛 💚 since 95
Because of the 1996 Green Bay Packers I love football. I've lived in Wisconsin for 21 years and I remember this team very well
A title game without Dallas or San Francisco
It was wonderful
Great video can't wait for this season to start GO PACK GO
Me too! Go Pack Go 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈!!!!!
How u feeling now?
Luke Schell it was a great Season. I feel wonderful
Go pack go!
Aaron Cushman this aged well. We came up one game short of the big one🤦🏿♂️
AAron 🗣 🐻 TF ⬇️
This was such an awesome game...one of Dorsey's best! Their whole playoff run that year was awesome to watch
The 96 packers were number 1 in offense defense and special teams.
Great memories
Man listen.....
A snowy NFC championship game at Lambeau field like the 2007 divisional vs Seattle would be awesome
This not being the last time they won the NFC Championship at Lambeau would be better
I was so glad we won BUT I really wanted Dallas in Green Bay. We lost to them in Dallas so damn many times I wanted them to have to come here. But WE WON!! Thats what counts.
Rodgers is 7-2 vs the Cowboys, and has never lost a game in AT&T stadium.
I wanted that match up so bad as a Cowboys fan. I think we would have lost comfortably in the NFC championship, but it would of made for a hell of a story if the Packers had choked at home. The Cowboys defense in 96' was capable of winning against anyone.
Unfortunately their offense shit the bed all season, especially without their best player Michael Irvin who cost them home field in the divisional missing 5 games suspended at the start of the season, but most importantly he got hurt in the first possession against the Panthers and we had nothing at WR behind him.
The Cowboys down the stretch that year beat the Packers, 49'ers and Patriots all on the strength of incredible defensive efforts.
@@supersexysega bet they wish they kept alvin harper the previous year instead of letting him go to tampa.
A hole so big you could drive a truck to the Super Bowl through it.
We?
A Packers defense that was dominant in the playoffs? Never thought I'd see the day.
Lol I feel you. I mean green bay did have a top 10 in 2010 and a pretty good defense in 2014 but everyother year lately has been trash. This year the defense will be better but how how much better is the question
The 97 defense was pretty good too. Even tho they lost the Superbowl.
1996 packers best offense best defense the last time to date
@@edwinivanrodriguez3769 you’re to young to remember this team relax lol
I don't know if it's the sound quality or what, but to me the Lambeau crowd of the 90s seems way more energetic and loud. Anyone feel the same way?
Yea and the goodyear blimp sound in the background and the groans on collisions
At 2:06 when Dorsey catches it in the endzone, the crowd went dead silent for a second, then roared!!!!
Lance Carley
I still remember that catch
@@kenzeier2943 me too! I still get goosebumps when I hear and see it!
Got chills watching this. I’m a young Packers fan and it amazes me just the amount of history this team has #GoPackGo
Sebastian Diego right! I was thinking the same thing. The rivalry with Cowboys and 9ers, as well as those 3 historic MVP seasons by Favre. Man this team could’ve been a dynasty from 93-97. If it weren’t for those Cowboys we could’ve possibly won 5 straight Super Bowls 😳
Best Packer team to date.
I'm a 31 year old and a Panthers Fan and I still get a weird happy feeling watching this game because my uncle have a fond memory of us all just getting together just because to watch Football and this the game that apparently told some of my Family members that I was gonna be GB or Carolina Panthers Fan, here I am a Panthers and though we lost I Love this game because to the rest of the Football world we were never supposed to make this far in only our 2nd year.
1996, the expansion teams Carolina and Jacksonville both make 1 game short of a Super Bowl.
That's incredible
That is a stunning fact
If they had both made the SB people would’ve thought something was rigged.
Erix7810 I remember Jacksonville upset Buffalo and Denver on the road and played New England and got beat. Brunell threw too many picks and Natrone Means was a non factor after rushing for 186 and 120+ in the previous 2 games.
That was insane. We'll probably never see that again in the NFL.
2:06 omg that roar!
The crowds eruption after that Dorsey Levens catch. Wow!
I'm crying already. Memories.
John madden and pat summrall always a classic to watch and listen to really appreciate you guys thanks for the memories take care. Joe
I went to the Super Bowl in N.O. Great game. Pats made a run but too much Dez and Reg.
Peter Kay
Yeah that was a good one.
Bledsoe was knocked around by Mr White
Depite the loss it was one of the best long weekends of my life. Packers fans were pretty cool too. Not a lot of nonsense. And of course - the Super Bowl should be in New Orleans every year. Best city for it by far.
Exceptional game! Will never forget it.
Stay warm and dry out there always enjoyed listening to John madden and pat summrall always a classic to watch on TV or my cell phone after all these years appreciate the memories you guys thanks job well done you should be proud ! Joe
This game was magical. Still puts a smile on my face everytime I watch these highlights. Just like Favre said this game meant more than the Superbowl, it really felt that way. This one was special.
This Packers team was elite. Literally no flaws.
Now, I will agree they were very good. Didn't they lose 3 games?
@@justinyoung8062 The 2007 patriots lost the Super Bowl what’s your point
Not shown, but in the final minutes fans like myself teared up when as they ran the 'Lombard Sweep' three times in a row. Homage to the God's.
I love the crowd singing along with the song We are the champions by Queen.
Lets win today!
Here's a weird fact, this was the very first time the Packers played the Panthers. How many teams can have the distinction that they played their first game against a team in the Conference Championship game
1970 Colts played the Bengals and Raiders in the playoffs, never played either one before
The Pack did Risen dirty. That guy had some off the field issues in his career, but when he hit the field in GB I believe he was ready to be great. I live in Wisconsin, I’ve been a packer fan my entire life, and he had that first TD in the Super Bowl you could tell. They did Desmond Howard dirty too.
Rison yes. Howard got a big contract from the Raiders that the Packers couldn't afford
Ya howard and larry brown the raiders and super bowl mvps lol
I know the current 2021-22 Packers are arguably 1 of the best teams in the league right now. And have a chance to go to & win the Super Bowl & I'm a fan & wish them all the success. But I was in my mid 30's when this Packer - mid- 90's team was doing so well. For whatever reason I am still more emotionally attatched & excited about this mid- 90's team. I agree that this team with Favre, Reggie White, Andre Rison, Edgar Bennet, Dorsey Levens, Gilbert Brown, Antonio Freeman, Don Bebe, & a cast of all- stars was 1 of the strongest, truest, pure teams that ever existed in the NFL
This aged like sour milk lmao
Watching this just reminds me of how physical football used to be. Go pack go
It still is dude
Just watch the Ravens and the Bills play
@@loudini2695 It's still physical and somewhat dangerous but back then the game was all about the big hit and collisions. I'm glad modern players are able to stay healthier now but it ain't the same game as before
@@loudini2695 too many flags. It’s a girls sport now.
Kudos to the Carolina Panthers going all the way to the NFC Championship their 2nd year. They were definitely the 2nd best team in the NFL that year.
I miss listening to Madden and Summerall. Such a great announcing tandem
Amen
Dorsey was a damn good player. Weird name but they never talk about his career as a Packer!!!
Till about 99 he was top 10 rb in league
Nothing like Madden and Summerall 😭😭😭. Is there anyone in todays game even close? The feeling of listening to these guys call a game was incredible. They just made the game so much more fun to watch
I remember that game. Was so much fun freezing our keisters off with the people sitting in the row next to us had never been to Wisconsin before.
Awesome! Will never forget this moment!
5:54 my favorite part
Lets win today!
Dorsey Levens is one of the most underrated RBs in NFL history
This was the year Howard won Super Bowl MVP on special teams!
The Super Season! Great Days!
Panthers fan from the start. Remember this game. I was a kid and was devastated the Panthers lost.
This Carolina team only had 2 games all year where the opponent scored over 20 points both time giving up 24. A formidable team. The Packers were number 1 on offense and defense. A juggernaut who would steamroll for 2 years years until Terrell Davis ran it down their throat the next year in sb
cant take away this memory!!
Not being able to capitalize in the red zone did Carolina in but lots of short range field goals for both teams.
5:20
Pat: "How about a fake?"
John: "No fake"
Best running back combo I think in Green Bay Packers history. Also best place kicker in Green Bay history, Chris Jackie baby.
wouldve been a much more interesting story had both carolina and jacksonville won both title games and met in sb 31 both being 2nd year teams to make history as the fastest sb champion.
Loved listening to Madden and Summerall.
As a Patriots fan, I knew as soon as GB won that even if we beat Jacksonville that evening, it was extremely unlikely we were going to win the SB. Throw in all the drama with Parcells negotiating with the Jets and the lack of special teams preparation and we were completely doomed.
Good memories
This was the closest Dom Capers came to a Super Bowl as head coach. He would finally get his first Super Bowl ring 14 years later...as the DC of the Green Bay Packers.
bring back these memories!!!
Bears fan here. I think it's quite unfortunate that the Packers didn't win more Super Bowls with ace QB Brett Favre. And now it's possible that the Packers may not win another Super Bowl with QB Aaron Rodgers.
@cpk1994 Thanks for the info
Listen to this crowd- pure football from this team
That look at 2:10 is Favre all the way. Always how ill remember him playing.
Wow ! The memories!!!!
What a great memory.
The real Super Bowl
I felt so confident that the Packers would win this... more than any Farve-Rogers led team in any playoff game. What a great all-around team this was for G.B. If Roger's had that defense even for just 3 or 4 years, he'd probably have gotten 2 or 3 rings by now.
If Rodgers could show up in big playoff games at home they might’ve won more
So fun watching Reggie casually throw offensive linemen.
Great memories
I have a Mark Carrier / Emmit Smith NFC offensive/ Pro Bowl Card.
Mark Played for The Bears early Career.
I thought he was safety
LOVE THE PRAYER REGGIE INVITES ALL.
The good old days...when Lambeau in the winter was a killing field for visiting teams. What happened since then?
dorsey levens...was a great fit in Green Bay.
It was billed as the Ice Bowl 2, one of the coldest games played in Green Bay in quite some time! Does anyone know where the full game can be watched? Would love to re live a little of my youth!
Tyrone Williams made millions of dollars off of one play- Perhaps the greatest interception in NFL history.
1996 to 1999 was interesting for the Nfl the Cowboys dynasty collapsed then…
Packers win 1996
Denver win back to back 97-
98
The Greatest show on turf 1999
Man, Brett Favre was fun to watch. I'd rather watch him any day over Rodgers. My opinion.
Great game
Dorse the Horse had the game of his life.
This is such a different game. So much harder hitting.
just watching this video recently for no particular reason
The ONLY Packers 1996 playoff game not available in its entirety?
Can you try to get the Packers-Bronco game from 07? The walk off TD in OT from Favre to Jennings?
Ben Dvorak I’ve looked for it several times before but have not been able to find it, but if I ever do come across it I’ll definitely be uploading if
@@obersports damn
@@heli0s2003 I'll look into it. Thanks.
The shovel pass at 5:54 is vintage Favre.
After the play, Kevin Greene who was trying to tackle Favre told him: "That was neat!"
Man I sure do miss hearing John Madden and Pat Summerall calling games. Now we got Troy Aikman and Joe Buck
Doug Vohs As much as I loved Pat and John, Joe and Troy I also enjoy.
ONLY TEAM WITH #1 DEFENSE. AND #1. OFFENSE IN SUPER BOWL HISTORY
I THINK A RECORD THAT STILL EXISTS. ! ?
Kevin Greene before the game
FREEZIN! FROZEN TUNDRA OF LAMBEAU FIELD! Where else would you rather be? I'm glad I'm here thank you!
Can you do week 4 of 2010 packers vs lions
Yes
I say that "96" Carolina defense might have been better than the 2015 defense. They didn't play well this game because it was cold as sh#$@!
8:45 Random comment, but look at the progressions right here. You don’t see QB’s do that anymore!!
I miss madden and summeral
Two lucky breaks for the Packers in the playoffs: 1) The Panthers upset The Cowboys 2) The Jaguars upset The Broncos.
Packers were better on offense alot more in 1996 with rison
@@packersauburneric3625 Rison may have saved their season, after a rash of WR injuries by week 13.
Collins saw space well.
My dad and grammpa went to the game
I bet Madden was supporting some serious wood this entire game.....watching his man crush....Brett Favre....win the NFC Championship at Lambeau Field.....he probably popped the instant Favre threw that shovel pass lol
The 2 times you thought the Pack ever get boo'd.. they were saying CHEWWWWmura or KOOOOOOOOOOnce
5:50
Vintage Favre.
