GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Forget the Lambeau Leap. Now the Green Bay Packers have the Freeman Fluke.
After Minnesota botched a game-winning 33-yard field goal at the end of regulation, Antonio Freeman's freakish 43-yard touchdown catch 3:39 into overtime gave the Packers a thrilling 26-20 victory over the Vikings on Monday night.
``I'm just so glad to catapult this team to a much needed victory,'' an exhausted Freeman said. ``We needed a lucky break.''
Brett Favre launched a deep pass to Freeman, who slipped on the wet grass as cornerback Chris Dishman deflected the ball at the 20-yard line.
