In 1996, the Green Bay Packers were led by Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre to their first championship win in almost 30 years. The team had the best offense, defense and special teams in the league that year. They defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI 35-21. The NFC had won the championship 12 years in a row by this point but a new era was about to start.
