All time greatest Packers corner, BJ Raji or Preston Smith?
Does anyone know what happened with this play? Did Raji just decide, “I think I see something, fuck it, I’m dropping back into coverage.”?
Who was wearing 77? Even though Raji likely got in before that ball was knocked out, the presence of mind in that moment for #77 to pick it up made sure it wouldn’t even need to go to replay as the result would be the same.
Just watched that five times
I love this play. The call is so bad though. Aikman barely can figure who the largest man on the field is and then there is 18 seconds of silence… after a dagger play with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the NFC championship between the nfls greatest rivals! And just nothing… FFS do I hate when Aikman does Packer games.
I can’t watch that play without getting pissed at BJ for showboating before he crossed the goal line. You do not do that. Ever. How many catastrophic plays do you need to see where the ball gets recovered by the other team, or it goes through the endzone for a touchback?
When Raji scored, I knew that we weren’t just going to the Super Bowl, but we were going to win it all. There was something about that season. We never lost by more than 7. We had no RB to speak of. Our defense, led by Woodson who was a force, was going off. Finally, we had an unbelievable knack to just find ways to win,
One of my favorite moments ever
Man, Chicago has had some dog shit QB’s.
BJ was interesting that he basically used the NFL version of FIRE strategy – get rich, retire early, save my body (BEFORE I’m injured, concussed, or just run out of the league by youth.) Hope it worked out for him, really fun player.
Capers full sicko mode
Not hard to imagine back then the Bears were showing this Texas route to Forte and Capers dropped lineman into coverage for this exact type of play.
Worth noting we’ve been doing this exact type of thing, dropping lineman into coverage, lately. And BJ has been known to throw a similar route to Gibbs when he was in Detroit.
Would be a shame if history were to repeat itself.
That wiggle always gets me.
I’m a simple man. I see big man touchdown, I upvote.
Those hips don’t lie
Love this one. And glad it didn’t turn into one of those “That’s what you get for celebrating too early!” cautionary tales. Was a little close for comfort.
This is one of my favorite Packers plays ever. That playoff run was pure magic.
I was 20th row in that end zone for that moment. I cheered too emphatically and got punched (softly) in the nose by the bears fan sitting next to me.
23 was wide open with no one in front of him too. Good thing Hanie was Heinie
Man, I hope someone pulls out those dance moves Sunday!
🎶 Show us what you got, what you got, what you got Raji 🎶
I’m not saying they’re goin got run this play this weekend, but they did just sign 2 more 300+ lbs D-linemen.
This was my first season watching football (european, it was in the middle of the night). I wasn’t a fan of any team yet. After this play I was. It was so much fun that I just decided, yes this is my team. Still here today
I’ll never forget my friend screaming “RUN, FAT MAN!” the second he caught it.
