With the sports world on hold, we present a countdown of the 50 greatest moments in Wisconsin sports history over the past 50 years. This is No. 21.

Battling a boatload of significant injuries and scratching by with just enough, the Packers came into the season finale with a 7-7-1 record, alive for a playoff spot by the skin of their teeth.
