Countdown to the Super Bowl - Day 2

The first Lambeau Leap occurred in a game against the Los Angeles Raiders on December 26, 1993.

After the Raiders fumbled the ball it was recovered by Reggie White who ran the ball 10 yards before handing it-off to LeRoy Butler.  Butler ran and additional 25 yards for a touchdown securing a spot in the playoffs for the Packers.

With the fans cheering enthusiastically, Butler ran straight towards the stands and jumped into the crowd, much to their delight.

The Lambeau Leap has been a tradition ever since.
