Really kind of sad, I wanted him to stick it up Green Bay's asses so bad.

Yeah. People always say why didn't he run on that play? I honestly don't know if he could. He could roll out but sprint for yardage? His ankle was ravaged that night.
I decided to look up the play by play. And now all the bad memories returned. Thanks, Wisconsin Chief!
The 12 men in the huddle penalty before the INT is overlooked too. That forced a passing situation as the ball went from the 33 to the 38. Longwell's long that year was 52 yards.
Minnesota also went into a shell too quickly. They got to the 33 with 1:06 left and didn't snap it again until 25 seconds left. Taylor and Peterson ran for no gain. Then the idiot penalty forcing 3rd and 15 from the 38. Longwell isn't hitting that field goal attempt unless they get closer. His career long was 55 yards set in 2007. Of course, you would rather have the opportunity than not.
Then overtime hits and the refs carry NO down the field.
