Going into Week 17 of the 1992 season, the Vikings were 10-5 and already had the Central wrapped up. They were locked into the 3 seed with no hope of catching Dallas for the 2 seed.
The Packers came into their game that weekend at 9-6, needing a win to make the playoffs and knock the defending Super Bowl Champion Redskins out.
GB scored first on a Harry Sydney run, but the Vikes scored 27 unanswered from then on. Favre and company would have to wait another year to make the playoffs.
