Favre's Dad Game was a National Football League (NFL) regular season game played on December 22, 2003, between the Oakland Raiders (now known as the Las Vegas Raiders) and the Green Bay Packers. The game, which was broadcast on television nationally on Monday Night Football (MNF), was held at Network Associates Coliseum in Oakland, California, during the 2003 NFL season. Brett Favre, the Packers quarterback and a future Pro Football Hall of Famer, had started 204 consecutive games leading up to the game against the Raiders, a record for NFL quarterbacks. The day before the game, Favre's father Irvin died while driving after suffering a heart attack. In the build-up to the game, there was much discussion by sports commentators regarding whether Favre would play, with Favre ultimately deciding to suit up and continue his consecutive start streak.

Contents

The game, which had playoff implications for the Packers, ended up being one of Favre's best statistical performances of his career, as he threw for 399 yards and 4 touchdowns en route to a 41–7 blowout. Post-game analysis focused on Favre's resolve to play even after his father's death, his successful completion of numerous high-difficulty passes and the Packers path to the playoffs. The Packers ended up making the playoffs, beating the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round before losing in the Divisional round to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 4th and 26 game. In 2019, the NFL identified this game as the 52nd best in NFL history.

Background

Both the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders entered the 2003 NFL season after going to the playoffs the previous year, with the Raiders losing Super Bowl XXXVII to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [1] [2] After starting the season 2–2, the Raiders lost 8 of their next 9 games before beating the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15 to give them a record of 4–10. [3] Through 10 games, the Packers were 5–5; they won 3 of their next 4 games to put them at 8–6 and in position to secure a playoff berth. [4] The Packers were set to travel to Network Associates Coliseum in Oakland for a Monday Night Football game against the Raiders in Week 15, the second to last game of the year for each team. [5] [3] [4]

Sunday night, the day before the game, Brett Favre's father Irvin died while driving in Mississippi. [6] Favre, the Packers star quarterback at the time, had started 204 straight games, an NFL record for quarterbacks at the time. [6] Irvin was instrumental to his son's growth as a football player early in his career, including coaching him in high school. [7] There was much discussion that evening and the next day by sports commentators on whether Favre would play in the game, which would not only continue his streak of consecutive starts, but was also necessary for the Packers to maintain their chances of making the playoffs. [8] After being informed of Irvin's death, the Packers indicated that they would allow Favre to determine whether he would play. [9] Later that day, Favre and the Packers announced that he would play in the game, with Favre stating his belief that his father would have wanted him to play. [10] It was later determined that Irvin died of a heart attack while driving, causing him to swerve off of the road. [7]

First half

The Raiders started the game with possession of the ball and punted after a quick first down. The Packers then drove 80 yards in 6 plays, punctuated by a 47-yard reception by Robert Ferguson, that ended in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre to Wesley Walls. The Raiders punted again on their next drive. After a 10-yard penalty and two short plays, Favre completed consecutive passes to Tony Fisher and Javon Walker for 32 and 23 yards respectively, with the last pass going for a touchdown. The Raiders took over down 14–0 near the end of the first quarter, beginning their only scoring drive of the game. Over a 6-play, 61-yard drive the Raiders rushed the ball 5 times, culminating in a 25-yard touchdown by Charlie Garner. On the next drive, the Packers drove down to the 13-yard line in 10 plays, with Favre connecting on passes for 12 yards, 11 yards and 32 yards. The Packers settled for a Ryan Longwell field goal to go up 17–7 at the beginning of the second quarter. After a three-and-out by the Raiders, the Packers started their next drive on the 11-yard line and quickly scored on a 5-play, 89-yard drive that ended with a 43-yard touchdown reception by Walker. Both teams exchanged punts and then the Raiders were stopped on fourth down, turning the ball over on downs. The Packers drove 62 yards in 5 plays, with 46 of those yards coming from a 46-yard catch by Walker. Favre threw his fourth touchdown pass of the first half to David Martin to put the Packers up 31–7. The next Raiders' drive again ended in a turnover on downs, with the Packers running one play before the end of the half. [11]

Second half

The Packers started the second half with the ball. They put together a short drive that ended in a 27-yard field goal to put the team up 34–7. The Raiders drove down the field, but quarterback Rick Mirer was intercepted in the end zone by Michael Hawthorne, giving the Packers the ball at the 20-yard line. The Packers moved the ball 50 yards over 10 plays, but ended up punting the ball back to the Raiders. Both teams exchanged punts after short drives, and then the Raiders again turned the ball over on downs after moving the ball 53 yards on 9 plays. The Packers finished off the scoring with a 9-play, 77-yard drive that ended in a 7-yard touchdown run by Ahman Green. Donald Driver caught a 41-yard pass earlier in the drive, which left the Packers up 41–7. Quarterback Rob Johnson, who replaced Mirer, was intercepted on the next Raiders drive, while the Packers subsequently turned the ball over on downs. The Raiders' last drive ended in a fumble by Tee Martin that was recovered by the Packers, which allowed them to run out the remainder of the clock. [11]

After beating the Raiders, the Packers entered the last week of the season needing both their own victory over the Denver Broncos and a Vikings loss against the 3–12 Arizona Cardinals in order to win the NFC North and make the playoffs. [19] [4] The Packers beat the Broncos 31–3, giving them a record of 10–6, while the Vikings took a 17–6 lead into the fourth quarter. [4] [20] However, Cardinals' quarterback Josh McCown threw a touchdown pass to Nate Poole with no time left on the clock to give the Cardinals a win, giving the Packers the NFC North and a playoff berth while ending the Vikings season. [21] The Raiders lost their last game of the year to the San Diego Chargers to give them a final record of 4–12. [22]

The Packers hosted the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round the next week. With the score tied at the end of regulation, the game went into overtime. After winning the coin flip for possession in the overtime period, Seahawks' quarterback Matt Hasselbeck proclaimed "we want the ball and we're going to score!" After a possession by each team, Hasselbeck threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown by Packers' cornerback Al Harris, giving the Packers a 33–27 victory. [23] The next week, the Packers traveled to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in the Divisional round of the playoffs. The Packers had a 17–14 lead with just over a minute left in the game, and the Eagles faced a fourth down with 26 yards to go. Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb completed a 28-yard pass for the first down and ultimately led the team down the field for a game-tying field goal. In overtime, the Eagles kicked a game-winning field goal to win 20–17 in what became known as the 4th and 26 game. [24]

Legacy

In honor of the league's 100th anniversary, the NFL announced a list of the 100 greatest games, with Favre's performance against the Raiders ranking 52nd. [25] Favre was praised by sports commentators for his resilience in the face of adversity, with the game going down as one of the greatest performances of his hall of fame career. [26] [17] His "ironman" persona grew stronger, as he continued his streak of consecutive starts. Favre started the game completing nine consecutive passes, with multiple catches by his receivers being contested catches with low probability for completion. [8] [18] The Raiders' crowd, usually well known for its ferocity towards opponents, showed its support for Favre. [10] His teammates embraced him throughout the game and Favre's wife came down on the field during the game to support him. [12] [13] [17] In reflecting on the game, Favre expressed his desire to go out and play a great game, while also stating "I knew that my dad would have wanted me to play. I love him so much, and I love this game". [25]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Packers–Seahawks rivalry</span> American National Football League rivalry

The Packers–Seahawks rivalry is an American football rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. The Packers entered the National Football League (NFL) in 1921 and saw significant periods of sustained success under Curly Lambeau in the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in the 1960s under Vince Lombardi. However, the Packers entered the 1970s in a sustained slump. They only made the playoffs once from 1968 to 1975. The Seahawks entered the NFL in 1976 as part of an agreement to expand the league after the AFL–NFL merger. The Packers and Seahawks played their first game during the 1976 NFL season, with the Packers winning 27–20 at Milwaukee County Stadium. During the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the two teams only played each other intermittently, as they were in different conferences. However, this changed in 2002 when the Seahawks were moved from the American Football Conference (AFC) to the National Football Conference (NFC). Teams playing in the same conference compete against each other in the regular season at least every three years and may meet more often if they share common positions in their respective division or are paired in the playoffs.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">The Catch II</span> Notable NFL playoff game

The Catch II was a National Football League (NFL) Wild Card Playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers on January 3, 1999. The game, which was played at 3Com Park in San Francisco, California, became notable after a completed pass with 8 seconds left in the 4th quarter won the game for the 49ers. The 49ers, who had just lost the lead to the Packers late in the 4th quarter, were facing 3rd-and-3, when San Francisco wide receiver Terrell Owens caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Steve Young, enabling the 49ers to defeat the Packers, 30–27. It came at the end of a 9-play, 76-yard drive engineered by Young. This game and moment mirrors a similar catch in 49ers history, when quarterback Joe Montana threw to receiver Dwight Clark in the 1981–82 NFL playoffs, and is similarly regarded as one of the most memorable events in NFL history, and a significant moment in Owens's NFL career.

The 2003 NFC Wild Card playoff game was a National Football League (NFL) playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers on January 4, 2004. The game, which was contested at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, became notable after Seahawks' quarterback Matt Hasselbeck proclaimed, "We want the ball and we're going to score!" when the Seahawks won the coin toss before the start of the overtime period. Hasselbeck's comment was picked up on the referee's microphone and was broadcast to the stadium and the television audiences. Hasselbeck subsequently threw an interception that was returned for a game-winning touchdown by Packers' cornerback Al Harris. The score was the first defensive touchdown to win an overtime playoff game in NFL history and was ranked as one of the best 100 plays in NFL history. The dramatic finish advanced the Packers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, where they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 4th and 26 game.

The Snow Globe Game was a National Football League (NFL) Divisional playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers on January 12, 2008. The game, which was contested at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, ended in a Packers victory, sending them to the 2007 NFC Championship Game. The Packers mounted their largest comeback in playoff franchise history, overcoming a 14–0 deficit in the first quarter after running back Ryan Grant fumbled in two straight possessions, leading to two Seahawks touchdowns. The Packers scored touchdowns on six straight drives, while also holding the Seahawks to just six more points the rest of the game. Grant would go on to set a franchise record for rushing yards (201) in a playoff game, while also scoring three touchdowns. Brett Favre also threw three touchdown passes, while the Packers defense held the Seahawks to just 28 yards rushing as a team. During the game, a snowstorm caused poor visibility and difficult playing conditions for the players, leading to its nickname. The Packers would go on to lose to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants in overtime in the NFC Championship Game, which ended up being the last game of Favre's career with the Packers.
