778 Position upside down

A year ago in the 2007 season, the New England Patriots remained unbeaten in the season and ranked first in the league; after that, the Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers also had thirteen wins and three losses, tied for second in the league.

In other words, the Green Bay Packers are one of the favorites to win the championship.

The New York Giants, who had 10 wins and 6 losses, had a good result, but were not conspicuous among the twelve playoff teams and eventually ranked No. 5 seed of the National League.

After the playoffs officially started, the New York Giants showed good form, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers first, and then overturning the top seed of the NFC Dallas Cowboys-

You should know that, as well as the mortal enemy of the National League East District, the Dallas Cowboys easily defeated the New York Giants at home and away in the regular season, and their score advantage was above ten. The final result of the division match fell below everyone's glasses. The New York Giants strongly entered the National League final stage, against the Green Bay Packers who also crushed themselves in the regular season.

In the second week of the 2007 regular season, the Green Bay Packers went to the Giants Stadium to visit, and in the end, the huge score advantage of "35:13" away game to kill the New York Giants. In addition, the Green Bay Packers performed well throughout the season, the two sides met again in the National League final, and many people thought this was the best time for Favre to win the second Super Bowl.

However, the game progress was surprising, and the New York Giants kept the score ahead for most of the game, suppressing the Green Bay Packers.

Mr. Manning's performance was mediocre, and his poor pass success rate in 21 of 40 passes was unbearable. He had no touchdowns or interceptions in the whole game, but Mr. Manning's passing efficiency was very excellent. His 52.5% pass success rate finally completed a 251-yard push, which was slightly better than Favre on the opponent.

Favre's performance was also a disaster, with 35 passes and 19 of 19, 236 yards, two touchdowns, but two interceptions, and the final quarterback score was lower than that of Manning Jr.

Less than five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Green Bay Packers tied the score with a free kick, but in the eleven minutes of the game, neither team was able to score again, and the "20:20" draw allowed both sides to enter overtime.

The New York Giants, who guessed the coin in overtime, won the first attack, while Manning, who was sleepwalking in the whole game, completed important passes in a critical moment, and led the offensive team to push through the half. Although he was struck out later, the New York Giants' kicker Lawrence-tynes ​​completed a 47-yard free kick to seize the opportunity.

However, Green Bay Packers still have a chance to win.

In the subsequent attack, Green Bay Packers made a touchdown, which would be the final kill; Green Bay Packers completed a free kick, which would be the final draw again, and whoever scored first would be the final kill.

Unfortunately, Fafer was unable to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, the New York Giants narrowly defeated the Green Bay Packers in overtime, and the final score was "23:20". After overthrowing the top seed of the NBA, the New York Giants overthrowing the second seed of the NBA and entered the Super Bowl by stepping on the shoulders of two favorites to win the championship. Everyone knows the story later. Little Manning's miracle journey continues, and it is a shocking upset to break the New England Patriots' unbeaten season.

Returning to the 2007 National League final, the game headed to two different endings, with the New York Giants continuing their miracle journey, while the other indirectly pushing Favre's retirement idea, which later further triggered a retirement storm, leading to internal turmoil among Green Bay Packers.

In other words, this victory and loss result has indeed changed the basic pattern of the 2008 season, and of course, it has also ushered in Lu Yiqi's brilliant debut.

When the 2008 season division match arrived, everyone was looking forward to the showdown of "Arizona Cardinals vs. New York Giants", but the plan was disrupted by the Green Bay Packers' defeat of the Minnesota Vikings; however, the media's attention did not focus on the "Revenge Battle" of Green Bay Packers.

Because the Green Bay Packers are no longer the team last year, McCarthy and Favre's turn and departure have caused a fundamental change in the team.

At the same time, the positions of the two teams have also changed this year. The defending champion New York Giant is a popular one, while the Green Bay Packers are always dark horses.

Naturally, the meaning of "revenge" has become much less indifferent. The media is more concerned about "how far can the Green Bay Packers led by Coach Archie go?" or "whether the magic of Coach Archie continues in the face of the defending champion."

but……

After a long round trip, who could have predicted that the "Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants" game came to the same fork again with fate and faced the same situation again. The familiar scene made Buck and Eckman in the studio excited.

"The cycle of destiny." Buck uses this expression to explain the special atmosphere at this moment.

Eckman also smiled, "Although we tried our best to avoid using the words 'revenge', because the Green Bay Packers are already a brand new team, with different aspects; but now we have to admit that for the second consecutive year, these two opponents still have to decide the winner through overtime, and the old days will be repeated."

"It's like a mirror." Buck said with a smile. The blood vessels that bounced around his neck could clearly feel his excitement and excitement. "The position of home and away games has been reversed, and the position of strength compared to the advantages and disadvantages has been reversed. The development context of this game is also somewhat different."

"Indeed," Aikeman was amazed, "This is really amazing, but the same thing is that this time, the Green Bay Packers still tied the score in the fourth quarter, and through the outstanding performance of the defense team, the opponent's chances of winning the game were cut off, and then both sides must enter the overtime stage."

Buck continued to take over the conversation, "Last year, the combination of McCarthy and Farver failed to find the offensive rhythm in overtime and unfortunately lost; this year, the offensive team of Green Bay Packers has gone to a higher level, and the combination of Archie and Rodgers has indeed shown top pass level."

"But!" Buck emphasized a twist, and Eckman immediately laughed, as if he had predicted what Buck was going to say in advance. "In the ninth week of the regular season, the Green Bay Packers had an overtime match against the Tennessee Titans, and the combination of Archie and Rogers was unable to seize the opportunity - they had two opportunities, all missed, and the Tennessee Titans won the victory."

"This game is not only an opportunity for Green Bay Packers to take revenge on the New York Giants, but also an opportunity for Coach Archie and Rodgers to complete their self-salvation."
