    The biggest impact of this win wasn't knocking the Vikings out or getting the Packers into the playoffs. It was draft positioning. Had the Cardinals lost, they would've picked first overall and almost certainly would've chosen Eli Manning. Instead, by the Cardinals winning this game, the Chargers got the first overall pick and chose Manning (whom they'd trade to the Giants) and the Raiders wound up choosing Robert Gallery at #2 (one of the biggest busts in recent memory). That meant the Cardinals would pick third and grab...Larry Fitzgerald.
    This win wound up changing multiple franchises' futures in ways no one could've forecast at the time. All anyone could talk about (and still to this day) was how badly the Vikings collapsed and how much of a VIP treatment the Packers gave Nate Poole next week. The Packers would go on to beat Seattle in the famous "we want the ball and we're going to score" game before falling in Philly in the "4th and 26" game.

      While watching the video I noticed that Emmitt did a lot of the little things that don't go on his stats but help his team win. For Example, he dove over the line on the PA to sell the run, got out of bounds after getting a 5 yard gain which ultimately gave them enough time to win the game, and after McCown got sacked, he quickly got the ball to the ref so they could get the snap off. He wasn't very good for the Cardinals, but he was still a smart player.

    This was such an amazing time to be a fan of the Packers.

I've seen them win SB31 and SB45, but that 3-week span at the end of '03 is my favourite memory as a fan of this team. They may not have won the Superbowl that year, but they gave us some of the most immortal moments in the history of football.

    I was at the Packers Broncos game with my dad. We left when we heard the Vikings were up 17-6 with 5 minutes left (they wouldn’t show the score of the Vikings game at Lambeau so we got that info from a guy listening to the Vikings game on a handheld radio)
    My dad and I were in the parking lot and these two guys were screaming like crazy that the Vikings lost. We scoffed thought they must have been screwing around. Then five seconds later we heard the Lambeau crowd start going nuts. Turned on the radio to find out those two guys weren’t joking. DONT EVER LEAVE A GAME EARLY!

    This is a great memory for me as a Packer fan. My Mom and I went to my first Packer game against the Broncos in the freezing cold while this one was going on. We sat next to a young couple who were really nice to seven-year-old me. They had a pair of binoculars they used to watch this game playing in one of the press boxes. When they gave us updates on what was happening it didn't even sound real, like they were just reciting the ideal fantasy situation for the Packers to make me happy. Lambeau going crazy when the final of this game flashed on the jumbo tron was one of the coolest sports memories I have.

      Honestly as a Bears fan I never knew this until a couple months ago. The Vikings were absolutely pathetic that year. My guess is that Mike Tice the HC was treating his players like shit and that's why they played with a guilty conscience and lost. Dennis Green and Bud Grant would have thought twice about treating the players the same way that Mike Tice did.

I’m sure for Vikings fans it was insult to injury that Dennis Green ended up being the cardinals head coach the following year. I recall Tice was on the bears staff (I don’t recall the exact years)
