“There was a lot of animosity up to that point, given that they were up 0-2 (against us) that season. So then I said, ‘You know what? I get to play this game,” said Moss.
As pumped as he was about starting the game, Moss got extra motivation thanks to a few Packers fans.
“So as we go into Lambeau before they put the new locker rooms, there were probably about 10 guys sitting over there with their pants down,” he added.

Thus, after scoring the game-winning touchdown, Moss felt that there was only one thing left to do.
“So if you remember my touchdown, it put the game away. So one of my wide receivers came over to give me some love, but I pushed him off. I pushed him off, and I said, ‘I need this moment, I need this moment.”
