Playing without star receiver Sterling Sharpe, who had suffered a career-ending neck injury at the end of the season, Green Bay scored first with a 14-play, 76-yard drive. "He does things that no other back does." "It's inconceivable to hold him to negative yards," Green Bay defensive end Reggie White said. After running the ball on the Lions' first three plays, he didn't carry more than twice in any other series. Sanders lost yardage on six of his 13 carries.
