1989 IN REVIEW
For one glorious season, the Green Bay Packers became the "Cardiac Pack" by setting an NFL record with four wins by a single point. The team won seven games by five or fewer points. Green Bay spent most of the season rallying from seemingly-impossible deficits. They came back to beat New Orleans in Week 2 after being down 17 at the half. In Week 4, they came back from 15 down in the final quarter to beat Atlanta. They nearly defeated the Rams after being down by 31. Don Majkowski set franchise records for attempts (599) and completions (353). WR Sterling Sharpe led the NFL with 90 receptions. In the end, the Packers fell one game short of the playoffs, when Minnesota beat Cincinnati on Christmas Day. Off the field, Green Bay welcomed a new team president in June, when Bob Harlan replaced Robert Parins. The team signed a league-high 20 players under the new Plan B free agency plan. Four of those players appeared in all 16 games.
THE INSTANT REPLAY GAME
SOURCE: www.majiknetwork.com: Don Majkowski will forever be remembered for throwing a last-second touchdown to beat the Chicago Bears 14-13 at Lambeau Field in 1989 in the famous “Instant Replay” game. It was one of the most exciting games in Packer history and is still a game that Bears’ fans love to complain about. With fourth down and the ball resting on the Bears’ 14 yard line, Majkowski rolled out to his right towards the sideline looking for an open receiver. Just before going out of bounds – and with his foot planted on the 15-yard line – Majkowski fired a perfect pass to Sterling Sharpe for the winning score. Shortly afterwards, a referee ruled that Majik had stepped over the line of scrimmage which would have nullified the play. However, after an Instant Replay review, the call was overturned and the touchdown counted. The game would be the
highlight of the Majkowski era, which was short but exciting. In his six seasons with the Packers, Majkowski played in 68 games, completed 889 passes for 10,870 yards and 56 touchdowns. He started five games in 1987, becoming the first rookie in Packer history to throw for 300-plus yards in one game. The following season, Majkowski led the Packers to three of their four victories in a dismal 4-12 campaign. It all came together in 1989 for the Majik Man, as he led the NFL in passing yards, attempts and completions. He threw 27 touchdown passes and was named to the Pro Bowl. The wheels started to come off in 1990, when Majkowski held out for 45 days trying to re-negotiate his contract. He would go on to throw for 1,925 yards and 10 touchdowns in eight games before suffering serious shoulder injury at Phoenix in mid-November. Majkowski only played in nine games in an injury-plagued 1991 season. On September 20, 1992, he suffered a serious ankle injury against Cincinnati, and Brett Favre took over the reins.

SUPER BOWL 24 (January 28, 1990 at New Orleans)
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (16-2) 55, DENVER BRONCOS (13-5) 10 - NFC titlist San Francisco won its fourth Super Bowl championship with a 55-10 victory over AFC champion Denver. The 49ers, who also won Super Bowls XVI, XIX, and XXIII, tied the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl victories. The Steelers captured Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV. San Francisco's 55 points broke the previous Super Bowl scoring mark of 46 points by Chicago in Super Bowl XX. San Francisco scored touchdowns on four of its six first-half possessions to hold a 27-3 lead at halftime. Interceptions by Michael Walter and Chet Brooks ended the Broncos' first two possessions of the second half. San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana was named the Super Bowl most valuable player for a record third time. Montana completed 22 of 29 passes for 297 yards and a Super Bowl-record five touchdowns. Jerry Rice, Super Bowl XXIII most valuable player, caught seven passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. The 49ers' domination included first downs (28 to 12), net yards (461 to 167), and time of possession (39:31 to 20:29).
INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE - The only mention of this league, perhaps an offshoot of the NAFL, came in May 1989, when Donald Trump announced that he has sent letters to Pete Rozelle, Commissioner of the NFL, and Tex Schramm threatening legal action against the NFL if they proceed with their plans for the IFL. Trump, the former owner of the USFL's New Jersey Generals, claimed the NFL stole his idea of an international football league. The NFL's version of the IFL became the World League of American Football
