Caleb Hanie's Horde mentality-Each team played one strong half of footy, not the same half. The Packers took the first, the Bears the second, and when it was all over, Green Bay had a 21-14 victory, the NFC title as well as a trip to the tremendous Bowl to face the Pittsburgh Steelers.
perhaps it's a good thing that the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers only meet in the playoffs every 70 years. These four storied franchises apparently don't bring out the best in each other - at least not in January.
But the Packers were derailed by a 25-year-old quarterback out of Colorado State with four years of NFL experience, most of it holding a clipboard. Caleb Hanie came this close to being able to drink free in Chicago for life when they rallied the Bears to four fourth-quarter touchdowns and very forced the game into overtime.
