Will the 2024-25 NFL postseason yield the next great Green Bay Packers playoff moments?
The Packers have extensive experience in the NFL postseason over the past three decades, not to mention their legendary performances in the pre-merger era. When you picture the great single moments in Packers playoff history, what flashes through your head? Is it the Ice Bowl? Desmond Howard? Al Harris? Favre to Sharpe? Rodgers to Jennings?
Desmond was part of the 11th ranked most-iconic plays in Packers postseason history (during the Super Bowl era).
‘It is time’ (2010 season)
The play added a new layer of immortality when video emerged of assistant coach Kevin Greene being caught on mic telling Clay Matthews before the snap, “It is time.” But it was pretty crucial in the moment, too, when Matthews forced a fumble on the first play of the fourth quarter in Super Bowl XLV. Matthews knocked it loose from the hands of Rashard Mendenhall on a snap at Green Bay’s 33-yard line, with the Packers nursing a 21-17 lead. Desmond Bishop recovered, the Packers scored on the ensuing drive, and Green Bay won the game 31-25.
