description

Packers linebacker George Koonce showcased a great ability to read the quarterback on this play, jumping in front of the intended receiver to pick off the pass. But he wasn't done there, as he took off like a rocket in the other direction, breaking one tackle on his way to the end zone for a 75-yard score, the first touchdown of his NFL career. Green Bay would ultimately fall in this one, however, losing 30-21 to Minnesota on Sept. 22, 1996.
