@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 he had two long throws and one decent drive the entire game. Nothing great based on how he had played during the regular season.
Ron Cox is my neighbor he has a place near me beyond the grid,in very remote eastern MOntana.Ron and his family come to their place out here about once a month.Ron played MLB for Green Bay in this game,he's a really nice guy,brought me my mail last time he was out here on his snowmobile I was snowed in,in fact I'm still snowed in.
What blows my mind is that Adam Vinitari played in this very game. This was the day after I turned 7. Im going to be 30 in 10 months. Adam, sir, you are a BADASS! Wish you were a packer!
What made it special was that Favre had done rehab to beat an opioid addiction that came from pain killers from injuries the offseasons prior '96 season.
You also forgot other teammate of don beebe who won the super bowl: Mike Lodish beat beebes packers the next year and the atl with the Denver Broncos Pete metzelaars won as a coach with the Indianapolis colts Recently QB Frank Reich with the eagles
This was an "Epic Game" for the Packers ... Desmond Howard put them over the top! The pass was also perfect to him from B-Farve who would be placed in the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE SUPER BOWL. That #33 Doug Evans DB... is AWESOME and I love him in real life. 😁. That interception at the 4:40 mark was soooo nice. Just saying!
GB only completed 5 passes to WRs in this one, a lot of dump offs to backs, incompletions, and sacks. But man did two of those completions really do a TON of damage. New England gotta be sick with themselves because they played really well most of this game. But you can’t blow coverages and give up 50 yard TDs like that.
I remember being surprised at how close this game actually ended up being. I thought greenbay would just roll all over the pats. But they only beat them by 2 scores.
This one was closer than the final score. Easy for younger people to forget now, but there was a time when the Super Bowl would be over by halftime more often than not. The only ones that were one score games in the 4th quarter during the NFC win streak from Super Bowl XIX-XXXI were XXIII (49ers-Bengals), XXV (Giants-Bills) and XXX (Cowboys-Steelers). SB XXIII went down to the final minute, SB XXV literally down to the last play and SB XXX the Steelers cut it to 3 with about 6 minutes to go but had dug themselves too deep a hole earlier so it was too little too late.
@@lucashenderson2775 - Steelers hasn’t dug themselves too deep a hole. They had the ball with a chance to go ahead, but Neil O’Donnell threw the ball directly to Larry Brown.
As a huge Broncos fan, it was hard to watch this game. Denver had the NFL's #1 record at 13-3. Jacksonville upset Denver. NE took advantage. GB probably would have won SB XXXI anyway if Denver had shown up. But who knows? GB and Denver with similar lineups squared off in SB XXXII and Denver won by 7.
You Know This Was Actually The 3rd Super Bowl That I Had Ever Watched In my life While Growing Back Up Back In The 1990’s Following last previous two Which Were The Cowboys And Steelers In Super Bowl 30 And The 49ers Vs. Chargers In Super Bowl 29 ! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
The first half was very exciting and it was looking like the Pats were going to have a legit shot at the upset. The second half? Not so much. The last of the 13 year win streak for the NFC.
The 1996 Packers really need to be in the discussion for top 5 teams of all time. While we are at it, Mike Holmgren needs to be in the discussion of one of the greatest HCs of all time.
The NFC had total dominance between super bowl 19-29. Super Bowl 30 The Steelers and Super Bowl 31 The Patriots, showed that we weren't going to take the NFC's self proclaimed dominance crap anymore. Super Bowl 32 finally broke the AFC super bowl curse
Hilarious that everyone really thought that the Packers had outplayed the Patriots by two touchdowns this game. It was very obvious that it was the second straight Super Bowl that the NFC won because of one player (the previous one was because of QB Neil O'Donnell, and this one came down to whether or not they squib-kicked away from Desmond Howard especially when the lead was cut to 27-21). Obviously the NFC's 13-year Super Bowl winning Streak was ending. That's why it was so hilarious that the Packers were favored by those same 14 points over the Broncos the next Super Bowl. It is not as though this Packer had good LBs or a good run-defense at all. Curtis Martin was just getting warmed up on them (until that final erroneous decision to kickoff to Desmond Howard late in the 3rd quarter) and Keith Byars had been a force throughout the game. It tried to reason with people about this Super Bowl but all I got was that Packers should be cut some slack as the REAL America's Team (?!) and how the NFL's two best teams in 1996 were the Packers and 49ers. All the incredible accomplishments by the 49ers from 1981-'94 (1982 not withstanding) did not mean they were an elite team (or even a particularly good team) from 1995-'98. After Walsh retired in January 1989 and handed over a team that was the youngest in the NFL (Joe Montana was the oldest on the team at just 32 years old) the 49ers stopped drafting Offensive Linemen until Walsh came back almost a decade later when Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark were finally off to Cleveland. But throughout 1997 season (obviously some nine months after this game), Carmen Policy's last season in SF (although Tim McDonald says Carmen Policy was gone before he left and gone by 1997 which was also Dwight Clark's last full season there as well) all everyone again thought was the NFL's two best teams were the Packers and 49ers, and John Elway will never win a Super Bowl (quadruple hilarious).
Good points. Yeah, I remember that GB-NE SB, and I believed that the Pats had a real chance. GB might not win without Howard. Also, it's possible that the 49ers had some salary cap shenanigans in 1996 with Steve Wallace, their LT. They cut him, and the Eagles signed him (with a signing bonus). He didn't try for them, and then he got cut and went back to SF (where he played hard again). What's sad is that the bonus still counted against Philly's cap. Now, did the 49ers tell him to do that? Maybe. Wouldn't put it past them, especially after they paid Deion under the table two years earlier.
FUN FACT: All 3 Green Bay Quarterbacks on the roster for this super bowl played or would play key roles in denying the Patriots 3 more Lombardi Trophies in their team history. 1st string quarterback Brett Favre beats the Patriots here in SB31. 2nd string quarterback Jim McMahon had been the starting quarterback 11 years earlier on the famous 85 Bears team that been the Patriots in their first ever Super Bowl. And 3rd string quarterback Doug Pederson was head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles 21 years later when the Eagles beat the Patriots in Super Bowl 52 denying Bill Belichick and Tom Brady another Super Bowl. So in this Superbowl you had the Patriot beaters of the past, present, and future as QBs for Green Bay.
This was the last year that the NFC would dominate the Super Bowl... From 97 on out, the AFC finally asserted itself as an equal conference to the NFC.
LegendKiller0084 The AFC is full of garbage ass teams. One good team, which happens to be the Patriots, dominates because of that reason. NFC has all the real competition #GreenBayBitch
@@pendropking1 So I guess the Patriots winning in a conference that included or includes Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning, Big Ben, LT, Steve McNair, JJ Watt, and Patrick Mahomes is terrible.
@@notoriouseagle1074 Ray Lewis won 1. Peyton won 1. Ben won 1. Patrick 0. Patriots everything else. Come on... with the NFC no team even has chances of repeats or threepeats.
Brett Favre transformed the organization into a great one. Even after he left Green Bay was able to win a SB. Now with Aaron Rodgers at the helm for a decade they can't even make the play offs!
You know the odd thing about this Super Bowl and then 43? The Superdome shot off fireworks before the game, during the game (after touchdowns), in halftime, and after the game. Now it doesn't do that anymore. I wonder why?
Greatness! All respect to Parcells Patriots but A good football game clearly won in all phases Offense Defense Special Teams and Coaching. As Coach Holmgren said it means more to Green Bay.
Its crazy, this game brings back so many memories...I use tah rock with Andre Rison , so to look back , and be like look at Andre...He and my BIG HOMIE still keep in touch. 👑☝🏿👑☝🏿👑☝🏿 And Farve being from Mississippi. But whats crazy was I had mixed feelings bout this game, cause I wanted Reggie to get his, and at the same time. I wanted to see Curtis Martin get his, but yah got my guy Andre with the Pack. Oh well☝🏿👑☝🏿👑☝🏿👑☝🏿😅😅🤐
Brett Favre if he didn't win a ring, would've been considered the NFC Bledsoe. They both had a knack for driving 80 yards and throwing picks at bad times.
Yes and no. He really was a damn good coach. I respect what his Patriot did. They played their hearts out against a better team and made it competitive.
It’s unfortunate they and Favre didn’t get more rings With all their division titles and winning seasons you’d have thought more than 1 ring was a guarantee
@@RYMAN1321 Favres career proved the "mike holmgren is overrated" crowd hilariously wrong. Favre had a significant dropoff after mike left, and (with the exception of 2007), never came close to the mid 90s.
I was 11 years old when my team won the Super Bowl and it was an unforgettable moment for me. I was a few weeks removed from watching the Packers beat the 49ers at a muddy Lambeau FIeld in the Divisional Round when I was in a hotel room after a flood evacuation. It was a relief that my town's levee didn't fail and then this Super Bowl win made me feel on top of the world.
LOL...no. He did his work after the game was pretty much decided. His three sacks didn't come during the point when the game was up in the air. He brought it home, but he wasn't most valuable. Desmond Howard was the right choice. Without that return, the Patriots may have ended up winning.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 He did his work to ensure the game was decided. If not, NE scores at least once and makes it interesting in the 4th quarter.
I was for the Patriots but was so happy to see Reggie White, Keith Jackson, Eugene Robinson and Santana Dotson finally get rings........ and Andre Rison
+Nicholas Bolduc Very true. Bledsoe was on his way to having a HOF career. This loss was a negative. But statistically, Bledsoe was putting up some big numbers averaging between 3500 and 4500 yard between 1994-00.
Brady would have started eventually anyway. Bledsoe wasn’t exactly a young guy when he got hurt, he only had a few more years left, regardless when Bledsoe left Brady was going to be the guy.
I been a fan since the 1970s remember the Chuck Fairbanks era well 1976 team and 1978 then 1982 snow plow game 1985 AFC Championship year then 1986 year when we won the division again then the ownership changes from 1988-1994 Billy Sullivan the founder and owner sold to Victor Kiam and 1990 Lisa Olson scandal then James Orthwein buying the team in 1991 then tried to move us to St Louis Robert Kraft saved us bought the team and turned us from one of the worst teams to one of the best teams in History.
Did he really call the pats line suspect? This game against that defense maybe...(they did give up 21 points btw) but they blocked for bledsoe and martin all damn year. Maybe look at the stats buddy...
It's super bowl Sunday I im just watching all my patriots super bowls can't wait till patriots win to day go patriots . Even the lost super bowls im watching I hope I don't see no more lostes live patriots vs eagles 2 4 2018 Brady goes for six rings bill goes for 8 end 6 with the patriots .
You’re pats d cost you guys the game. As much as I hate to say it cuz I’m a bills fan, Brady played lights out. 505 yards lmao. Nuts. Be happy tho I would lose my mind if the bills could just win once before I die
Having John Facenda narrate this Super Bowl (along with the classic NFL Films music by Sam Spence) makes me feel old for having witnessed this game as a kid lol.
Yep. Brett got the idea from Watching Joe Montana in Super Bowl 24 where Montana called Black 59 razor. And guess who was the 49ers Offensive Coordinator other than Mike Holmgren.
Reggie, was not "one of the best." He was, THE BEST!!!! Actually fuck that, and yes I know Reggie would not approve of my language,Reggie remains the best.
