I was 9 and cried my eyes out when TO later caught that miracle. What a clear fumble jesus
Might’ve been 4 years old but that will always be a fumble in my eyes
If I had a nickel for every time my team was on the wrong end of an officiating blunder that caused league wide changes, I’d have two nickels. That isn’t a lot, but it sucks that it has happened twice.
That shit pissed me off so much. Fuckin’ Niners.
Still makes me mad and still can’t u sweat and how TO caught that touchdown
Refused to watch the highlights of this game and I’m not starting today
If the Packers won this game, they would have gone to Minneapolis which with the arrival of Moss had killed the Packers twice that season.
The official is standing right there too. What a joke.
The fuck was the 102 FJ looking at? He had a great view of the fumble
My dad had to go for a “walk” after this one. Still have yet to see his face get back to that shade of red.
Will never forget this one or 4th and 26 against the Eagles in the 2003 playoffs. Both would have ended the games with a Packers Win. The epitome of “defeat from the jaws of victory”!
Still infuriating all these years later
This hurt so bad
I was working for this game and never watched it after listening to it. Such bullshit.
Nothing tops the loss to Seahawks in 2015.
wow thats even worse than i remembered
Well, it was still the 90’s, so the cowboys and 49’ers still got all the calls. Not to mention always having play in Dallas during the season….
I was 14. I made a website fully out of my own html code dedicated to telling the world that this play was a fumble. Wish I could find it on Geocities still.
My mom was usually pretty animated during Packers games, but this one was among the most pissed off I ever saw her, period.
Clear ass fumble.
It’s always SF isn’t it? Ugh
This is why I will forever hate the Niners.
Why are you doing this to us!?
They started video review the next year.
It wasn’t unusual for Rice to get the benefit of the doubt on close calls.
Only thing worse was the Seattle game.
3rd place was favrws throw in overtime of the 4th and 26 gane
I was at this game and had no idea how clear it was because as I recall, they didn’t show the replay on the video board. Even the Jumbotron operators knew.
Ah when my hatred for the 9ers started
Never forget though, braindead divisional fans will tell you the Packers get all the calls.
I wasn’t 9 but I still couldn’t believe it.
I remember being devastated, and of course the 49ers offense used the gift from the refs. I was 16 at the time and really thought the packers were going to the super bowl…then Ray Rhodes the following season…
Depending on the month, I was between 6,7 years old
This is much worse than I remembered it too. Jesus. What were they looking at?
This was Holmgren’s last game too. Lots of noise about him leaving for Seattle in the lead up and I always wondered if it affected how they prepared and played.
I was 15. I was done crying by that point in my life so I was just angry.
