Should the Packers beat San Francisco and advance to Super Bowl 54, they will have a chance to join the 49ers and Cowboys as the teams with the second-most Super Bowl championships, behind only the Steelers and Patriots.
The Packers have tasted victory in the Super Bowl four times, including the first two editions of the big game after the and seasons. The first ever title game between the AFL champion and the NFL champion was the blowout most feared it would be, considering the NFL was considered the superior league.
Although the first half of Super Bowl 1 was competitive. The Chiefs were down to the Packers at halftime, but Green Bay scored 21 unanswered points in the second half and cruised to victory. Quarterback Bart Starr, who passed for yards, two touchdowns and an interception for a passer rating of Oakland was down at halftime, but Green Bay scored 17 unanswered points in the second half, including Herb Adderly's yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
After almost 30 frustrating years and a few teases in the playoffs leading up to the season, the Packers finally returned to the Super Bowl in coach Mike Holmgren's fifth season. They didn't waste the opportunity. On the strength of some big-time plays — including Brett Favre's yard touchdown pass to Andre Rison in the first quarter and Desmond Howard's yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the third — Green Bay powered past New England with relative ease.
The Patriots' four turnovers certainly helped. Green Bay's latest run to the Super Bowl required a series of improbable playoff victories, and the No. Green Bay jumped out to a lead, but Pittsburgh scored 14 unanswered and found itself down just four points going into the fourth quarter. Then Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Greg Jennings.
After the teams traded field goals, the Packers' defense stopped Ben Roethlisberger's comeback attempt in the final two minutes. Below are all of their appearances, including their one loss from the season. The Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens combined for over 20 points in the final two minutes of regulation in one of the craziest finishes in NFL history.
