4. Cowboys at Packers, 1967

If there was ever a game to epitomize the Vince Lombardi-era Packers, this was it. The 1967 NFL Championship would decide who went on to face the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II, and the Packers had home-field advantage. Despite being an old team, Green Bay was able to reach its fifth NFL title game in seven years and was searching for a three-peat.

The Packers and Cowboys faced brutal conditions, with the wind chill reaching -55 on New Year’s Eve. Green Bay took a 14-0 lead but allowed 17 straight points. In the final minutes, quarterback Bart Starr led a march for the ages, covering 68 yards to the end zone. The final yard came courtesy of Starr, who decided to run a quarterback sneak with 14 seconds left, despite having no timeouts. The result was a touchdown … and another championship.

3. Patriots vs. Giants, 2007

The New England Patriots were looking to complete the first 19-0 season in NFL history. They had already beaten the Giants in Week 17, with Tom Brady throwing his 50th touchdown pass of the year (a record at the time). New England was predictably a huge favorite, but New York was equal to the task.

The Patriots would take a 14-10 lead deep into the fourth quarter, only to see Eli Manning channel his inner Joe Montana. Manning threw something akin to a Hail Mary after evading New England’s pass rush in the final minutes, hitting David Tyree for 42 yards, also known as the Helmet Catch. Manning capped the game-winning and history-altering drive with a touchdown toss to Plaxico Burress.
