The Lombardi Trophy was on its way back to Lombardi Country. Vince Lombardi's Packers won Super Bowls I and II in the mid-1960s by playing with confidence and faith. Nearly 30 years later; Green Bay's 1996 team; led by coach Mike Holmgren; used those same virtues to carry the franchise to its third Super Bowl title. Holmgren was known for his intensity on game days; and an ability to mentor quarterbacks; qualities that would serve him well with the Packers. By '96; Holmgren had molded Brett Favre into an NFL MVP who could use his West Coast system in spectacular fashion. Statistically speaking; the Packers had never played better. Led by Favre and All-Pro defensive end Reggie White; Green Bay tied a franchise record for wins; led the league in scoring; and gave up the fewest points. But on a team renowned for its star power; it was return man Desmond Howard -- considered a disappointment in the pros at that point - who made the greatest impact against New England in Super Bowl XXXI. Yes; there was a 29-year wait between celebrations. But in Titletown; U.S.A.; it was worth it. America's Game uses exclusive interviews from Holmgren; Favre and Howard to retell the story of a team that brought the Lombardi Trophy back where it belonged.
