GREEN BAY, Wis. – No one should mistake it for The Drive. Or the Drive II. Or even call it the Drive III. But a season-long 98-yard touchdown march to break a tie game in the fourth quarter on a snowy day at Lambeau Field will go down as noteworthy for this reason: It kept the Green Bay Packers’ season alive for at least another week.
It was the difference between a 6-6 record – and staying two games behind the first-place Detroit Lions in the NFC North – and an all-but-dead 5-7 and three games back with four to play.
