And the legendary Brett Favre was the number one quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Being the best of the best in Wisconsin, there were days he couldn’t deliver to the elite level. One of his worst playoffs performance was overshadowed by the most iconic butt in the history of the NFL. 

In 2004, the Packers met the Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round. The name of the round is ironic because the game was nothing short of wild.
