0:00.0	you know, Home Grin had coached a lot of these players previously. And so you certainly saw it there,
0:05.7	watching the game back this week on YouTube. It was really interesting to see sort of how,
0:10.7	how bottled up Steve Gehung was. And this game, he threw for 328 yards. It took him 65 attempts,
0:16.2	and he threw two interceptions. So, you know, good on Fritz Schmer and, you know, the Packers staff to really slow
0:23.2	down what was one of the premier offenses in the NFL at the time. It's January 96, Packers at
0:30.8	Niners. This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey,
0:36.5	and maybe chart the path of the zeitgeist.
0:39.6	I'm your host Tom Semehrerick and my guest is Eric Eager, Vice President at Sumer Sports and co-host of the Sumer Sports Show.
0:46.4	We recorded this episode in January of 2020 back when he was at PFF.
0:51.6	Enjoy the show.

1:19.3	and they kind of limped their way to the two-seed.
1:22.1	But I think we all thought that they would win this game.
1:26.4	They were nine and a half-point favorites coming in. They had a 52. This game had a 52 point over under. People expected a lot of scoring, and unfortunately it took the Niners all the way until the end of the first half to even get their first points. So as a Vikings fan growing up, given the Packers were division rivals, but hadn't made any sort of run since the 60s on the other hand yeah
1:45.2	the Niners not a division rival but made you eat shit for the past seven years how complicated were your
1:51.5	rooting interests that day oh i i rooted for the niners i really like steve young i liked uh the dual
1:57.6	threat that he represented i you know i I was too young to watch Montana live,
2:02.9	you know, and so Steve Young was really the first, like, West Coast quarterback that I got to watch.
