The craziness of that final play overshadowed what a blunder Mitch Berger made on that muffed field goal. He made a bad situation 10 times worse by not just throwing the ball away. It was first down and there were 8 seconds left, but he totally lost his bearings there.
It’s incredible how memorable the 2000 NFL season was for ABC and their MNF crew. This game. The Jumbo Elliott comeback. The Saints-Rams Wild Card Game (e.g. ‘Hakim drops the ball’). And this all happened in the same season of their failed experiment with Dennis Miller on board.
The Vikings let ‘em off the hook!! Watching the full highlights of these iconic plays always reveals more behind the scenes zaniness like the kicking blunder by the Vikings and the overturned completion on the Packs final drive in regulation.
Turning point to the Vikings after this game they weren't the same. Although they went to NFC Championship game they got destroyed like 41-0 to the Giants.
The crazy thing is the ref not ruling it incomplete almost by instinct and holding his whistle is impressive. Mitch Berger just throwing it away would have erased all of this. I remember this game as a teenager I was going crazy!! I miss Favre so much!
This was the first football game I actually remember watching as a kid. I would have been 5 years old. From Minnesota but that day I became a Packers fan.
I was in the stands with my wife in this monsoon, and when they lined up for the field goal we started to leave to get out of the rain. In the concourse, saw what happened and rushed back to our seats to see the legendary catch. What a night to be at Lambeau.
If it isn't the best or greatest catch ever, it's gotta be your favorite. Classic awful huck from Favre but it slips through Dishman's hands so that it rolls PERFECTLY along Freeman's body so he's able to bring it in, combined with the amazing commentary of complete disbelief from not just the live play but also the replay where all three are going crazy watching the craziest play. Not to mention the fact it's a pivotal divisional game on MNF.
Going into this game Packers fans were screaming for Freeman to be released. After that catch not another word demanding his release was uttered by Packers fans. Also, the Vikings showed how classy they are by releasing Cris Dishman the next day. They scapegoted him to deflect from a team collapse.
“Dwayne Rudd couldn’t tell heads from tails!” Man between this and him taking off his helmet, Rudd REALLY didn’t get along very well with “heads” of any kind 😂
Oh my God watching this video brings back so many memories. I remember that catch. I remember the game but seen it again it’s like oh my God that cat was just crazy.
This game really hurt the Vikes. In the end it cost them home field advantage and they had to go to Jersey to play the Giants and get blown out 41-0. Had that game been at the Metrodome it would have been different. We could have seen prime Moss and Carter vs that Ravens D.
My dad went to bed early for this. I stayed up and watched it live. I shit my pants I couldn't believe what had happened 😂 I ran to my parents bedroom and told him what had happened.
That has got to be one of the great ABC-era Monday Night games of all time. The Pack were literally riding on Antonio Freeman's back. Not even Dennis Miller's inane commentary spoiled it for me.
Back when they didn't have Thursday night football..did they even have Sunday night? Either way my dad and I always looked for to Monday night.. ARE U READ FOR SOME FOOTBALL? A MONDAY NIGHT PARTY!!!
Another great Al Michaels quote about that improbable catch from this game:
“You couldn’t film that scene in a movie and make it look that good!”
Insane to think NFL Throwback hasn't posted this before. A great game all the way through with a legendary finish

Total lack of awareness
the spiral on Brett Favre's one-handed Haymaker underthrow to the end zone LOL..... bullet!!!!
Al Michaels with a legendary call at the end 17:36
Thank you 😂
Got to stay up late on a school night to watch this one. Incredible game!
Al Michaels is the Greatest NFL Play-by-Commentator Ever
17:40 One of Al Michaels’ great calls
19:12 GAME!

Monday Night Miracle
Bucs-Rams had an epic shootout that season as well. Although that might have been Sunday night football.
@@jeremystoeckel9903No it was Monday night.
@@jeremystoeckel9903nah you’re right, that was a Monday Night game. Also the Bucs Vikings game on MNF in 2000 had an incredible ending too.
@@Eli-ss9gjBroncos and Rams had a wild shootout in Week 1.
0:07 - Crazy that Favre had already set the record for consecutive starts, and still continued the record for another 10 years!
Yeah that’s insane, and to think that Brady would own that record had it not been for his 2008 week 1 injury, and his 2016 suspension for DeflateGate
some of Al Michael’s best work right here
My favorite quote: “No extra point, that bums me out…” 😂

Robert Smith criminally underrated
Monday Night Football back in the day always brought something special. Vikings fans don't watch this video 😂.
F the Vikings 😂
@@kevinuchiha6830F the packers
They're both mediocre this season so what's the point in arguing
@@farhanatashiga3721say it again
Not the packers@@farhanatashiga3721
It’s insane that NFL throwback hasn’t even posted this yet
But an incredible reaction by Al Michaels , quite literally “he did what” indeed
Daunte Culpepper was the closest thing the Vikings had to a consistent franchise QB after Tarkenton until Kirk Cousins.
It’s a shame his knee got shredded in ‘05. He was a star on the rise.
Duante Culpepper and Steve McNair were great to watch in that era
Brett Favre would like a word. Of course, he’s a “what could’ve been”
Your right he wasn't a super bowl or championship QB
Always forget Robert Smith how he strangely retired
Turning point to the Vikings after this game they weren't the same. Although they went to NFC Championship game they got destroyed like 41-0 to the Giants.
Yea they got spanked badly. HAHAHA.
Most Viking fans completely forget they went to the NFCCG that season (and got embarrassed). I'm pretty sure they've blocked it from memory. 😂
Then the Giants got wrecked. NFC wasn't good that season
I was at this game and had a great angle to see that the ball never hit the ground. I was screaming my head off! Go! Go!
The crazy thing is the ref not ruling it incomplete almost by instinct and holding his whistle is impressive. Mitch Berger just throwing it away would have erased all of this. I remember this game as a teenager I was going crazy!! I miss Favre so much!

Same
Minnesota born packer fan here too!

Antonio Freeman's Game Winning Touchdown Catch Was Incredible
Going into this game Packers fans were screaming for Freeman to be released. After that catch not another word demanding his release was uttered by Packers fans.
Also, the Vikings showed how classy they are by releasing Cris Dishman the next day. They scapegoted him to deflect from a team collapse.
17:35 is the play that gives this game its name
17:45-17:49…….Cris Dishman’s final game with the Vikings before being released and then retiring weeks before the 2000 NFL season ended…..
17:40 common moment of the NFL gods smiling on the Packers and shitting on the Vikings
“Dwayne Rudd couldn’t tell heads from tails!”
Man between this and him taking off his helmet, Rudd REALLY didn’t get along very well with “heads” of any kind 😂
17:55 "He did, What?!"
7:48 FLAG 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔊🔊🔊
That ref at the end of the game 😂😂😂
Vikings will always choke when it matters most
Look at that scoreboard tho, Vikes vs Pack.
Yeah that was cool.
Thank you for uploading this full game!!!!!
Imagine if the Vikes had had a good defense during the Culpepper-Moss era. I truly think they would’ve won a Super Bowl.
CounterPoint: It’s the Vikings. They would’ve screwed that up
I think their best shot was 98, and even if they didn't choke in the NFC Championship I don't think they had what it takes against the Broncos then.
Love this game!
Nobody looks cooler throwing a football than Brett Favre
I noticed this too. He had a really unique throwing motion and footwork. Probably why he was so popular.
Say what you want: Favre was tons of fun to watch.
Moss greatest to ever do it 💯
Rice. Then Moss
It’s Jerry and then everybody else
Freeman was the best WR in that game at least 😅
Pooch punting instead of trying a 48 yard field goal for the lead is so gross.
Minnesota Vikings Against Green Bay Packers NFC Central Division Rivalry Last Meeting In 1993 Thanks For Uploading
i was 21 still remember watching this live in my friends garage drunk and high as hell...classic
Good memories was in 4th grade lmfao
Great game
An al micheals classic
Nostalgic
One of the best rivalries in the NFL
Classic OT Division Rivalry Game
Anen
Go Pack Go🧀🏆🏆🏆🏆
Berger messed up everything at the end of regulation. Wow
Unbelievable series to send the game to overtime even before that miracle catch by Freeman
NFL scripts best top tier of all time endings...... nuff said!!!!!!
Oh my God watching this video brings back so many memories. I remember that catch. I remember the game but seen it again it’s like oh my God that cat was just crazy.
He did WHAT!
look at the scoreboard display? vikes vs pack 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the WILDEST catches of ALL TIME!
Who thinks NFL throwback should make an Instagram account?
Mitch Burger. Throw the ball away! This game cost us home filed. Smh
Dennis miller: no extra point huh?
19:36 "No extra point though, that bums me out."
Man, I forgot how good Robert Smith was. Always found it funny the one year he finished without a nagging injury, he retires, lol!
Good memories! GO PACK GO! 💚💛
This game really hurt the Vikes. In the end it cost them home field advantage and they had to go to Jersey to play the Giants and get blown out 41-0. Had that game been at the Metrodome it would have been different. We could have seen prime Moss and Carter vs that Ravens D.
You know, I despise the goddamn Fudge Packers, but that sure was an amazing catch. I've always watched that play in awe.
My dad went to bed early for this. I stayed up and watched it live. I shit my pants I couldn't believe what had happened 😂 I ran to my parents bedroom and told him what had happened.
What a classic! I remember watching this when I was 14. Football was masculine then. Not so much, now.
NEVER gets old! 🤣
Amen
That has got to be one of the great ABC-era Monday Night games of all time. The Pack were literally riding on Antonio Freeman's back.
Not even Dennis Miller's inane commentary spoiled it for me.
I remember the complete confusion after that play. I was halfway out of my seat to turn off the set and go to bed
Good one, the field goal holder blew the game for the Vikings.
Only favre's second sweep of the vikings. He only beat them twice in 1 year, 5 times, in 16 years as a packer
@NFL Throwback just like you created the 30 minute video of the 2007 Patriots could you please make a 30 minute video of 1998 Vikings
Imagine if Culpepper didn't throw 3 INTs 😆
4:46 nah that was nice
classic!
Fun game fun game guys.
Go pack go? Lmao
And here we are getting ready for Sunday night football . Packers vs the Vikings. Im hella scared how good Jefferson is gonna be. #gopackgo
No need brother, defense showed up for once. Now onto the Bears
Qb’s under center every play….. I miss these days.
Cool video
I remember throwing my Playstation controller on the floor and breaking it. Still haven't recovered
I used to like the Vikings and I hated the Packers, so every time I would see that final play, I would get annoyed all over again 😒😭
Glad to see the Vikings suffer😂
You failed to show Culpepper’s TD run called back on a holding penalty. Forcing them to settle for a field goal on their opening drive. 👎🏻
No extra point though, that bums me out.
Mitch Berger and Cris Dishman both had fairly long and productive careers, but they really botched things at the end of the game.
Back when they didn't have Thursday night football..did they even have Sunday night? Either way my dad and I always looked for to Monday night.. ARE U READ FOR SOME FOOTBALL? A MONDAY NIGHT PARTY!!!
15:52 might be the dumbest play ever
John 15:23
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Dwayne Rudd doing something boneheaded and weird in a critical situation? Hope that doesn’t come up in 2 years!
And to think this packers team was a mediocre 3-5 wow
Al Michaels
He Did What?
The refs wanted the packers to win so bad lol. Always been that way
Viking fan here. I was in the endzone at that game. Ridiculous luck.
Some really weak PI calls against the Vikings. Some things never change.
This was interesting..................
Always at the expense of the Vikings
