Notes:  Brett Favre comes out slinging the football and eventually finds Bubba on a tipped pass in the end zone.  His game slows down a little after that, but it’s all Green Bay as they do what it takes to get into the postseason.  Denver, playing a meaningless game, puts in QBs Jarious Jackson and Danny Kanell to rest their starter for the playoffs.  Green Bay’s Ahman Green puts up 218 rushing yards and his 20th TD for the season, both franchise records.  The Packers end up scoring two TDs in a span of 8 seconds in the 4th quarter as Green runs the length of the field, then Wilkins recovers the fumbled kickoff return in the end zone.  Minnesota manages to lose to the Cards on the last play of the game, making Green Bay the NFC North champions.

Thanks Scott!
