On the second play from scrimmage in overtime, Brett Favre threw his second interception of the game, allowing the Giants to take over the ball at about the Packers' 35-yard line.
The Pack gave the Giants opportunity after opportunity and they finally took advantage of it on a 47-yard field goal.
Congrats to the Giants.
And congrats to the Pack on a most unexpected -- and successful -- season. Too bad it had to end this way. This was not the Packers' best game, by any sense of the word.
The loss hurts for many reasons. It's a game the Pack could have and should have won. But more on this tomorrow. Including hopefully learning why the Pack stayed away from the running game from the get-go, never even giving it a shot to work.
If you care to express your opinion on the most disappointing aspect of the Packers' loss, I invite you to vote in the new poll (open through Friday afternoon) in the righthand column.
