The best spin I can put on it is that it cost the Packers the last shred of hope they might have had to win the game. Denver came to play for the championship; Green Bay came expecting  to celebrate another championship.Davis was a force of nature; if I recall correctly, it was 157 yards and 3 TDs, and the MVP. Denver's game plan was to pound the rock down Green Bay's throat snap after snap after snap, and that depended on Davis carrying the team. And he did it. Elway did what he had to do, too, but Davis drove that train.Rumors were rampant after the game that Favre had been partying up a storm the night before, with Chewy and Winters, which he later denied... but there were some rumblings from teammates after the game that maybe he'd have played better if he hadn't been so busy vomiting in the locker room before the game.Considering how many spectacular games he played in his career when he was probably hungover as hell, I'm not sure that Saturday night in the Onyx Room or the Cheetah Gentleman's Club had much to with what happened Sunday night in Qualcom Stadium. I think the more likely explanation is simply (as either Holmgren or Wolf said, depending on which source you believe) "they just wanted it more than we did."About as good an explanation as you can ask for to explain a decisive 11-point upset.</blockquote>
