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. 2.

Everyone remembers the Nick Collins interception return. But what about Howard Green?

The play of Green's career came in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLV when the Packers' midseason acquisition broke through the line and hit Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger just as he unloaded a pass. The hit forced the ball to hang up in the air, and Collins intercepted it and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown to give the Packers a 14-0 lead.
