It was a cold and rainy Monday night at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The Packers were hosting division rivals, the loathsome Minnesota Vikings.With the Packers facing third and 4 at the Vikings' 43 on the first possession of overtime, Brett Favre took a shot deep to Freeman, who was locked in man-to-man coverage with cornerback Cris Dishman along the western sideline.As Freeman slipped and fell, Dishman had the ball in his hands but dropped the interception. The ball bounced off the back of Freeman's helmet and left shoulder until he controlled it against his chest as he lay on the ground. Freeman jumped to his feet at the 15, eluded Robert Griffith and scored a touchdown that set off a wild victory celebration in the south end zone. This was just one of many crushing defeats for the Vikings at the hands of the green and gold, and was later nominated by ESPN to be the best play in Monday Night Football history.
