description

Antonio Freeman found a soft spot in the coverage along the right sideline, received the pass from quarterback Brett Favre, and then took off for the races, beating multiple defenders on his way to the end zone for the 81-yard score. The touchdown gave the Packers the lead in Super Bowl XXXI, a lead they would never relinquish on their way to a 35-21 win on Jan. 26, 1997, that saw Freeman total 105 receiving yards.
