Completely composed, even as snowfall threatened to impair his vision during Jan. 12, 2008’s Wild Card clash, Brett Favre merely dropped back, prepared to offer Lambeau Field’s faithful sights they had seen hundreds of times before. In what ultimately became the final postseason triumph of his storybook reign in Green Bay’s threads, Favre — promptly tested by a 14-0 deficit — responded with a pair of outside-the-numbers touchdowns, changing the game’s trajectory. The backbreaker, for Seattle, arrived in the third quarter, as Favre connected with his running back on a flare and 18-yard score, momentum the Packers used to collect a 42-20 victory over the Seahawks. Nearly flawless, Favre’s final box score included 173 yards on 18-of-23 passing, alongside three scores and a 137.6 passer rating.
