The 1994 season was a near-rerun of the previous year. Again the Packers went 9–7, beat the Lions 16–12 in the NFC wild card round, and lost the divisional game 35–9 to the Cowboys. In 1995, Favre continued to cement his reputation as one of the NFL's finest quarterbacks, passing for 4,413 yards and scoring 38 touchdown passes during the team's 11-5 regular season. The Packers reached the top of the NFC Central division for the first time since 1971. However, they still had to go through the wildcard round, overpowering Atlanta 37–20. The divisional round saw them knock out the defending Super Bowl champion 49ers 27–17, but they were again frustrated by the Cowboys, who triumphed 38–27 in the NFC Championship game and went on to win another Super Bowl title.
