ARLINGTON, Texas – Watching the Green Bay Packers eviscerate the Dallas Cowboys in a road playoff game Sunday, it was hard not to think back to the 1995 season and another young quarterback leading the Packers to a huge playoff win, at San Francisco.
Those who have been around long enough remember Brett Favre, who’d just won his first NFL MVP, wheeling and dealing in the Packers’ dominating divisional-round win over the 49ers that was a breakout victory for the ‘90s Packers. Favre was in total command that day, leading his team to a convincing win.
