Green Bay Packers

Ultimately, the Packers' poor performance throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s led to a shakeup in which new General Manager Ron Wolf was hired to take over full control of the team's football operations during the 1991 season. In 1992, Wolf hired San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Holmgren to be the Packers' new head coach. Holmgren had won two Super Bowls with the 49ers, had learned under legendary coach Bill Walsh, and coached two Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Joe Montana and Steve Young. Soon after hiring Holmgren, Wolf acquired quarterback Brett Favre from the Atlanta Falcons for a first-round pick. Green Bay Packers


The move was criticized by many fans. Favre was only a second-round pick in the previous draft and a third-string quarterback in Atlanta with a reputation of partying. Despite the skepticism, Favre got the Packers' their first win of the 1992 season, stepping in for injured quarterback Don Majkowski and leading the Packers to a comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Favre started the following week against the Pittsburgh Steelers (a win), and has not missed a start since. He has started more than 248 consecutive games (including playoffs), which is a NFL record for a quarterback. Though acquiring Favre was once controversial, he has since become one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

In 1996 the Packers' turnaround was complete. The team posted a league-best 13-3 record in the regular season, dominating the competion and securing home field advantage throughout the playoffs. After relatively easy wins against the 49ers and Carolina Panthers in the playoffs, the Packers advanced to the Super Bowl for the first time in 29 years. In Super Bowl XXXI Green Bay defeated the New England Patriots to win their 12th world championship. The following year the Packers won their second consecutive NFC championship, returning to the Super Bowl as heavy favorites. The Packers ended up losing to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII. The Broncos' win is widely regarded as one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.

During the period between 1995-1997 Brett Favre won three consecutive Most Valuable Player Awards. No player in NFL history besides Favre has ever won three (or more) MVP awards.
