nfc championship game
the game was the third ever conference championship game to be decided in overtime since the afl/nfl merger, joining the 1986 afc championship game and the 1998 nfc championship game. tynes joined rich karlis and morten andersen as the only players to score the decisive points in an overtime conference championship game (coincidentally, all three players were members of the respective visiting teams in those years). since, four more nfc championship games have gone to overtime, with the 2009 nfc championship game and the 2011 nfc championship game won by the saints and giants (tynes would again kick the game-winning field goal in the 2011 game). tynes also set a record for longest field goal by an opposing player in lambeau field playoff history with his game-winning kick. the first nfc championship game ending in overtime on a touchdown was the 2014 nfc championship game, won by the seattle seahawks. the 2018 nfc championship game also went into overtime, which was won by the los angeles rams on a game-winning field goal.
