THE STORY
On January 24, 2010, during the NFC Championship Game at the Louisiana Superdome, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre threw an interception to New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter with 19 seconds remaining in regulation. This turnover halted the Vikings' drive for a potential game-winning field goal, leading to overtime. The Saints won 31-28, advancing to Super Bowl XLIV.
