Brett Favre’s 1996 Game-Worn Green Bay Packers Pants: A Piece of NFL History
A Legendary Season
The 1996 NFL season was a landmark year for the Green Bay Packers, led by the indomitable Brett Favre. This season marked the Packers’ best performance in three decades, culminating in a triumphant victory at Super Bowl XXXI. Favre’s exceptional leadership and skill earned him his second consecutive MVP award, as he guided the team to a stellar 13–3 regular season record, tying with the Denver Broncos for the best in the league.
Favre’s prowess was on full display during the playoffs, where the Packers vanquished formidable opponents such as the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers at the iconic Lambeau Field. The culmination of this journey was a spectacular victory over the New England Patriots, with Favre completing 14 of 27 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns, including a record-setting 81-yard touchdown pass.
