The Lambeau Leap
LeRoy Butler's spontaneous gesture after scoring a 1993 touchdown has turned into the team's most prominent modern tradition, emulated by many other NFL players. Ironically, it also symbolizes the team's unique relationship with its fans. No doubt, the initial Lambeau Leap will go down as one of the most memorable moments of Butler's 12-year career.
Butler's leap took place late in a frigid game vs. the Los Angeles Raiders, Dec. 26, 1993, at Lambeau Field. The touchdown gave the Packers a commanding fourth-quarter lead, en route to a 28-0 shutout that clinched a playoff berth, their first of six consecutive postseason trips.
| Chronology Of The Play |
- QB Vince Evans completes second-down swing pass to RB Randy Jordan, who takes ball to Raiders' 40-yard line.
- Butler forces fumble, recovered by Reggie White at Raiders' 35.
- White returns ball 10 yards before lateraling to Butler, who covers the remaining 25 yards into the end zone and leaps into arms of fans in south bleachers.
