After playing catch up the entire game, the Packers couldn’t pull ahead of the Vikings and the game went into overtime. In a driving rain, QB Brett Favre threw a 43-yard pass to WR Antonio Freeman.

November 23, 2005 – Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers: After K Paul Edinger gave the Vikings a 17-14 lead in the fourth quarter with a 24-yard field goal, QB Brett Favre led the Packers on a tying drive – capped by Ryan Longwell’s 46-yard kick with 3:03 left. The Vikings had plenty of time left to drive down the field and won 20-17 on a late field goal.
January 6, 2007 – Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys: With 1:19 left in the game, the Cowboys were unsuccessful on a game-tying PAT and the Seahawks were able to preserve their 21-20 lead for a playoff berth.
October 18, 1998 – San Francisco 49ers vs. Indianapolis Colts: After rallying from a 21-0 deficit, the 49ers were tied with the Colts 31-31 in the fourth quarter. With 1:08 left, Colts K Mike Vanderjagt missed a 53-yard field goal and the 49ers took over, marching down the field to set up K Wade Richey’s 24-yard winning field goal with five seconds left.
