Favre is remembered as one of the NFL's great gunslingers, so many fans are surprised he only has one ring. Here is how he won it, and how close he came to a second.
The Super Bowl XXXI Season
The 1996 Packers were the best team in football. They went 13-3, scored the most points in the NFL, and allowed the fewest. Favre won his second straight MVP award and threw 39 touchdown passes.
Green Bay earned a first-round bye, then won two home playoff games against the San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers.
Favre played a big part in the Super Bowl. He threw a 54-yard touchdown to Andre Rison and an 81-yard touchdown to Antonio Freeman, then ran for another score. Desmond Howard returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and was named game MVP. The Packers won 35-21.
The Super Bowl He Lost
Super Bowl XXXII
The Packers went 13-3 again the next season and returned to the Super Bowl. They were double-digit favorites against the Broncos.
Denver pulled off the upset. Terrell Davis ran for 157 yards and three touchdowns, and the Broncos won 31-24.
Favre kept playing for many more seasons with the Packers, Jets, and Vikings, but he never made it back to the Super Bowl.
