The Packers mounted their largest comeback in playoff franchise history, overcoming a 14–0 deficit in the first quarter after running back Ryan Grant fumbled in two straight possessions, leading to two Seahawks touchdowns.

Brett Favre also threw three touchdown passes, while the Packers defense held the Seahawks to just 28 yards rushing as a team.

The Seattle Seahawks began the 2007 season as the defending NFC West champions, three times running; they lost to the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round of the 2006 playoffs.

The Seahawks drove down the field in six plays and scored a second touchdown, this time on an 11-yard pass from Matt Hasselbeck to Bobby Engram.

The Packers regained possession and drove down the field, covering 69 yards in 6 plays capped by a 15-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre to Greg Jennings.

After a three-and-out, the Seahawks punted the ball back to the Packers, who tied the game 14–14 on a 9-play, 63-yard drive; Grant scored on a 1-yard touchdown run.

On the ensuing Seahawks drive, Hasselbeck completed a short pass to Marcus Pollard, who fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the Packers.

Favre's third touchdown pass of the game, this time to Brandon Jackson, capped a six-play, 66-yard drive and put the Packers up 35–17.

[11] The Packers performance was highly regarded considering the weather during the game, with heavy snow limiting visibility and making playing conditions difficult.

Giants' kicker Lawrence Tynes missed two, fourth quarter field goal attempts that would have given his team the lead.

In overtime, Favre threw an interception to Corey Webster, setting up a game-winning field goal by Tynes to send the Giants to Super Bowl XLII.

[25] The 2008 season was the first for Aaron Rodgers as the Packers starting quarterback and they would go on to finish at 6–10, while the Seahawks went 4–12, which ended up being the last year under head coach and general manager Mike Holmgren.

[31][32] The victory ended up being the last of Favre's long career with the Packers and with the heavy snow produced iconic imagery reflecting Lambeau Field's nickname as "The Frozen Tundra".
