The version we have of this game the play-by-play broadcast was overpowered by crowd noise. We are very sorry about this, but since the footage is still good we wanted to post it because it is such a memorable matchup, we hope you still enjoy!

It's too bad the announcing is impacted so much by this but it is indeed a very nice copy of the broadcast so it's all good.

[@djeanpierre]

That entire weekend of Divisional Playoff football was great.

[@MountainMan.]

Green Bay assaulted San Francisco here in the divisional round and then Dallas bullied and bruised Green Bay the next week. It was a heavyweight championship fight any time these three encountered each other in the 90's.

[@gregford2103]

The Packers tried to get physical with the Cowboys, too, but, unfortunately for them, that was the kind of game that Dallas team relished. I remember at one point in the NFC title game the Packers pushed Emmitt Smith into a kicking net on their sideline, and Dallas' Darren Woodson blasted a Packer receiver and took out a Green Bay coach in the process.

[@truthhurtz8517]

Yeah but the 49ers are 6-4 overall in the playoffs against the Packers. Since 2013, the 49ers are 6-0 against the Packers in the playoffs. Kaepernick eliminated the Packers twice..😂😂😂

[@Pksoze]

One of the most underrated upsets ever. Back then NFC powerhouses almost never lost in the divisional rounds. Favre and the Packers bouncing Young was extremely shocking.

[@pp3k3jamail]

Especially considering the 49ers in 95 had the number one defense in the NFL but I do think the fact that Mike Holmgren was the coach he knew how to beat that George Seifert defense

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

MICOLE WHYTE Fritz Shurmur also deserves a ton of credit. The 49ers scored 17, 20, 14, and 10 points in the four Packer wins from Jan 1996 to Jan 1998...including three playoff games. That’s 15.3 ppg. Remarkable

[@pp3k3jamail]

@Roosevelt Darbey their defense wasn't hurting not having Deion Sanders they had the number 1 defense in the National Football League. They lost his game against the Packers because of turnovers. Same reason why they lost the 92 NFC Championship game to the Cowboys at home turnovers 2 interceptions by Steve Young of muffed Punt by Dexter Carter. Deion aint have shit to do with this loss.

[@benjaminunanaowo2929]

Unfortunately todays media want to burry Farve's success and only focus on the negatives. With Holmgren & Farve together are better than any combo not named Montana and Walsh or Belichck and Brady.

[@edgein3299]

After being the doormat in the '70's and 80's , the Packers had three straight 9-7 seasons in the '90's before finally breaking through with an 11-5 season in '95. This game was the turning point in Packer history and showed that they finally belonged. I remember it fondly as I was the only Packer fan in a bar dominated by 49er fans. They didn't even give me a hard time since they fully expected to win. As the game went on, they didn't say anything to me. They were in shock.

I absolutely love the ole school west coast offense! It had such rhythm and grace. Both teams ran it well and even though Farve is a straight gun slinger, he still had a grace about him.

[@Spooky_515]

Mike Holmgren was Bill Walsh’s star protege. His offense was centered around the two TE sets. Jackson and Chmura were a helluva combo

[@terucks]

Crazy the Niners could never beat the Pack. They should’ve won more superbowls other than ‘94. Honestly, letting Ricky Watters walk away really left a void in the Niners Swag and attitude. He brought emotional tenacity that took pressure away from Steve Young, once he left, Steve Young had to sacrifice more and his body gave out sooner than later.

This is the first of three straight years the Niners were knocked out of the playoffs by the Packers. Including this game, the Packers won 13 out of the next 14 games against the 49ers, the one exception being the Terrell Owens game in the 98 playoffs.

[@tempest20000]

goldenraven20 They would have won that if the refs weren’t blind. Jerry Rice fumbled the ball and the Packers recovered it. The refs ruled he was down but the replay showed he fumbled it before he went down. Even Summerall and Madden saw it. Two plays later was the Owens catch. If they would have ruled correctly, GB would would have went to the Divisional round and most likely have beaten Atlanta and they would have made it back to the NFC Championship game. And they didn’t have instant replay at that point. That game happens. Very next year, they bring back instant replay.

Trace Chmielewski Craig Newsome also dropped the game winning INT the play before Owens catch. Just wasn’t meant to be that year for Green Bay.

This was a huge game for the Packers but it was one of those "climbing up the mountain" type deals for them as they got creamed by the Cowboys. Still, this was a necessary thing for the Packers to keep the hunger to succeed alive for them. As a fan at the time I was mad though, I wanted to see another Niners/Cowboys matchup.

[@jaylucien669]

I'm a Cowboys fan and was at the Championship game the following week. Dallas by no means creamed the Packers that day. Favre put on a clinic, and the Packers had the lead at 27-24 with about 8:00 left to play. Cowboys pulled away with 14 unanswered, but even then I saw what was coming next season and beyond.

[@SPTO]

You are right, I misremembered the totality of that ballgame as the 4th quarter is what stuck in my mind about that game. Thanks for the factual correction. It was indeed a harbinger of things to come for the Cowboys as you said.

[@briancusack4386]

@@jaylucien669 : Well said, Jay. I agree with you. I am a die-hard Dallas fan, and that game was in doubt until the fourth quarter. GB was driving down the field, and thankfully, Larry Brown intercepted a pass near the sideline. One, or two plays later, Emmitt took the handoff from Troy, and ran it in for a TD to make it 38-27. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. GB went toe-to-toe with the Cowboys that day. Brett Favre did put on a clinic.

[@OfficialGrizzly]

I agree! Some fans think that Dallas had it easy since they didn't play SF in the NFC Title game again. But it was anything but a cakewalk, GB played very well! I think GB's Defense collapsed when Dallas drove down 90 yards or whatever it was and scored on an Emmitt run. GB obviously won the following year, so they were definitely the best in the NFC once Dallas started to go downhill.

The Niner D didn't play all that well this day, but the OL was busted up going in. See their previous game vs Atlanta, the season finale. They were cruising in the first half in what looked like an easy win, and home field throughout the playoffs. Then they began losing offensive lineman, Atlanta just pinned their ears back in the second half and went after Young relentlessly, and came back to win the game - thus SF lost home field, and had to play this game vs GB, instead of waiting to get Dallas, who they bitch slapped with Elvis Grbac at QB earlier in the year.

49ers let Rick Watters go to Philly and didn’t offer Deion Sanders a contract. Those two players change this game around.

This was not even much of an upset. The SF team was completely gutted and running on fumes.

I’m sure Cowboy fans were Glad this happened, so they didn’t have to play the 49ers again that season 😂

Talk about time flies, this Saturday at Lambeau Field will be the ninth postseason meeting between the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers.

[@joesakic91]

@Steve Kovaleski Four in a row in the playoffs including two in Lambeau. The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants are the only teams to date to beat the Green Bay Packers in a postseason game on the frozen tundra twice.

@Steve Kovaleski Don't forget the Vikings with Randy Moss and his moon.

[@Jrjj42]

I remember watching this game and being so relieved that the pokes didn’t have to play the niners in the nfc championship game. The niners has beaten us 3 times in a row at that point. The following year Dallas lost in the divisional round to Carolina when Irvin went down with an injury. Green Bay dodged a bullet cuz favre could not beat the pokes in their prime.

[@DackupDoo]

Green Bay actually did Dallas a favor by ousting the Niners. Barry Switzer was pretty inept against the Niners (1-3 record), and they already had beaten Dallas earlier in the year at Texas Stadium. And Dallas owned the packers in the 90s, slapping them once again in the NFC championship game a week after this game.

[@MountainMan.]

You are exactly right. Dallas dodged a bullet that year to win their 3rd SB in 4 years.

[@Spooky_515]

Cowboys always wrecked Favre and Reggie lol

[@ronnielister1023]

I miss watching these teams play look at FAVER AND YOUNG go at it. Faver did not have weapons YOUNG had

[@JoseDiaz-rd9fh]

You gotta be freaking kidding me. Antonio Freeman, Robert Brooks , Andre rison, Desmond Howard. They might not have been household names at the time but made significant contributions to beating the 49ers consistently. Generally speaking I don't disagree too strongly as Jerry rice, Terrell Owens, and JJ stokes should have been able to have better production. The difference coaching can make. A more talented team can lose if the coach is not getting the most out of his players.

[@PhilJHaast7695]

Steve Young threw over 60 times in this game, and there was so much consistent pressure. Favre seemed to find the open man and fire away too fast for the defense to get to him.

[@JoseDiaz-rd9fh]

Yep but farve moved better inside of the pocket and had a better feel for evading pressure. I know he has a reputation for throwing a lot of interceptions but it didn't happen in meaningful moments against the niners. We tried to draft players to contend with Antonio Freeman who constantly killed us but they all choked and let us down when it mattred

[@Spooky_515]

Favre had a three year run that was spectacular and he had the int issue under control during that time. Can you imagine what 1995 Favre could do in todays era? Lol

[@geebee380]

What kind of clock management is that to end the first half?? Comon Man!!

[@eric3298]

Shanahans or lafluer?

[@nathanprentiss7578]

This 49er team, at the time, had a stunning loss imo; however, in retrospect this packer team was a contender and the 49ers were really weak at a corner spot plus losing Ricky waters just decimated their run game. The packers were just plain better by this time and I just didn’t know it yet.
