During training camp, star safety <a href="/wiki/LeRoy_Butler" title="LeRoy Butler">LeRoy Butler</a>, among others, said that the Packers had the chance to run the table and go 19–0. This opinion drew increased coverage from the media as the Packers notched impressive victories in all five preseason games. The undefeated hype ended quickly, however, when Green Bay lost week 2 in <a href="/wiki/1997_Philadelphia_Eagles_season" title="1997 Philadelphia Eagles season">Philadelphia</a>. </p><p>Following a relatively slow 3–2 start, the Packers caught fire in the second half of the season, finishing with a 13–3 regular season record and 8–0 home record for the second consecutive year.

Some in the media dubbed the NFC title game as "the real Super Bowl" because of the 49ers' and Packers' league dominance, and the relative inferiority of the AFC in recent Super Bowls. Green Bay's win marked the third consecutive year the team had defeated San Francisco in the playoffs. </p><p>The Packers entered <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXII" title="Super Bowl XXXII">Super Bowl XXXII</a> as 11<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);clip-path:polygon(0px 0px,0px 0px,0px 0px);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}</style><span class="frac"><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span>-point favorites.

The game itself was a seesaw battle, and one of the most exciting Super Bowls in history. The Broncos won the thriller 31–24, earning <a href="/wiki/John_Elway" title="John Elway">John Elway</a> his first Super Bowl victory at the age of 37, and the first championship in franchise history.
