After missing a chance at a Super Bowl appearance the previous January in Dallas, coach Mike Holmgren’s Green Bay Packers were the favorites going into the 1996 NFL season. They did not disappoint, as they came out of the box and won the first three games of the year before suffering their first defeat to division rivals Minnesota. The photo above is from the third game of the season against the San DIego Chargers, in which the Packers throttled them 42-10. We were at that game and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Of course, after finishing the season at 13-3, they stormed through the playoffs and brought the first championship in 29 years back to Titletown, U.S.A. Those were good days indeed.
