1993 IN REVIEW
Last year, Brett Favre gave the Packers a playoff-caliber offense. This year, DE Reggie White joined the Green and Gold and gave them a playoff-caliber defense. White signed a 4-yard, $17-million deal in April, shocking the NFL. Green Bay's defense improved from 23rd to 2nd, its highest finish since 1972. This turnaround came about despite the loss of LB Brian Noble, whose career ended in Week Two with a knee injury. For the first time since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978, the Packers held opponents to an average of less than 300 yards per game. WR Sterling Sharpe had another spectacular season, breaking his own NFL record with 112 receptions. Favre did not have the season many expected. He threw 24 interceptions and showed he had much to learn. Green Bay clinched its first playoff berth since 1982 in Week 15, and had a chance to win the NFC Central when they met the Lions in the finale. Detroit won 30-20, and the Packers went into the playoffs as a wild-card.
PACKERS AND FREE AGENCY
The first free agent period, which began in 1993, was ushered in with perhaps the biggest impact signing of all time. The Packers gave defensive lineman Reggie White a 4-year deal worth $17 million. He amassed 68 ½ sacks in six seasons with Green Bay and led the Packers to a Super Bowl win. White was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. The Packers have not made many bad decisions, and some of their decisions not to sign players turned out to be wise:
* DESMOND HOWARD (1997 - Signed a 4-year, $6 million deal with Oakland) - Howard broke the single-season record for punt return yards in Super Bowl XXXI. He was named the Super Bowl MVP after returning a kickoff for a touchdown, and then left for the Raiders, with the promise that Oakland would use him as a wide receiver. The former Heisman Trophy winner caught six passes for 46 yards during his two seasons with the Raiders. He did return two punts for touchdowns in 1998, but his two-year total of 751 punt return yards didn't even match his 1996 season.
* DOUG EVANS (1997 - Signed a 5-year, $22.5 deal with Carolina) - Evans was another Super Bowl member who cashed in after the game. He played four years in Carolina, picking off 14 passes in 57 games.
* MARCO RIVERA (2005 - Signed 5-year, $20 million deal with Dallas) - On the heels of three consecutive Pro Bowls with Green Bay, Rivera's signing bonus of $9 million equaled the largest ever given to a guard at that point. Although he missed just two games in two seasons as a Cowboy, he underwent two back operations during that time and was cut after the '06 season. With Rivera on the way out, Dallas signed Leonard Davis to a seven-year, $49.6 million contract with $18.75 million guaranteed.
* AHMAN GREEN (2007 - Signed 4-year, $23 million deal with Houston) - After averaging 4.5 yards per rush over seven seasons for the Packers, Ahman Green entered the market looking for a big contract. Although he had just sustained a serious injury, the Texans felt the need to sign him. Over 2 seasons, Green played in 14 games and had five touchdowns. He was released in February 2009, played briefly with Green Bay, and headed to the UFL's Omaha Nighthawks.
THE BIGGEST FREE AGENT BUST FOR THE PACKERS
* JOE JOHNSON (2002 - Signed a 6-year, $33 million deal with Green Bay) - A two-time Pro Bowl defensive end with the Saints, Johnson was guaranteed $14 million over the first three seasons of this deal. He only lasted two seasons, making two sacks and 12 tackles in just in 11 games.
OTHER MAJOR SIGNINGS
* DE SEAN JONES (1994) - Signed a a three-year, $7.8 million contract
* DT SANTANA DOTSON (1996) - Signed a three-year, $4.8 million contract
* CB CHARLES WOODSON (2006) - Signed a seven-year deal for $52.7 million, including $10.5 million in the first year

SUPER BOWL 28 (January 30, 1994 at Atlanta)
DALLAS COWBOYS (14-4) 30, BUFFALO BILLS (14-4) 13 - Emmitt Smith rushed for 132 yards and two second-half touchdowns to power the Cowboys to their second consecutive NFL title. By winning, Dallas joined San Francisco and Pittsburgh as the only franchises with four Super Bowl victories. The Bills, meanwhile, extended a dubious string by losing in the Super Bowl for the fourth consecutive year. To win, the Cowboys had to rally from a 13-6 halftime deficit. Buffalo had forged its lead on Thurman Thomas's 4-yard touchdown run and a pair of field goals by Steve Christie, including a 54-yard kick, the longest in Super Bowl history. But just 55 seconds into the second half, Thomas was stripped of the ball by Dallas defensive tackle Leon Lett. Safety James Washington recovered and weaved his way 46 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 13-13. After forcing the Bills to punt, the Cowboys began their next possession on their 36-yard line and Smith, the game's most valuable player, took over. He carried seven times for 61 yards on the ensuing 8-play, 64-yard drive, capping the march with a 15-yard touchdown run to give Dallas the lead for good with 8:42 remaining in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, Washington intercepted Jim Kelly's pass and returned it 12 yards to Buffalo's 34. A penalty moved the ball back to the 39, but Smith carried twice for 10 yards and caught a screen pass for nine, and quarterback Troy Aikman completed a 16-yard pass to Alvin Harper to give the Cowboys a first-and-goal at the 6. Smith took it from there, cracking the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the 1 to put Dallas ahead 27-13 with 9:50 remaining. Eddie Murray's third field goal, from 20 yards with 2:50 left, ended any doubt about the game's outcome. Smith had 30 carries in all, with 19 of his attempts and 92 yards coming after intermission. Washington, normally a reserve who played most of the game because the Cowboys used five defensive backs to combat the Bills' No-Huddle offense, had 11 tackles and forced another fumble by Thomas in the first quarter. Aikman completed 19 of 27 passes for 207 yards. Buffalo's Kelly completed a Super Bowl-record 31 passes in 50 attempts for 260 yards. Dallas, the first team in NFL history to begin the regular season 0-2 and go on to win the Super Bowl, also became the fifth to win back-to-back titles, following Green Bay, Miami, Pittsburgh (the Steelers did it twice), and San Francisco. Buffalo became the third team, along with Minnesota and Denver, to lose four Super Bowls. The Cowboys' victory was the tenth in succession for the NFC over the AFC.
