... that the Green Bay Packers lost the 2014 NFC Championship Game and a chance to go to the Super Bowl after having a 99.9% chance of victory late in the game?

Source: Green Bay ran three plays and punted. And on Seattle’s ensuing drive, its chances to win dipped to 0.1% after Wilson threw incomplete with 3:07 left.

Moved to mainspace within a week of nomination. QPQ attempted, article well-written, and as a Vikings fan I love the hook. However, per WP:RSP, Forbes contributors are not considered reliable; can you find another source for the statement?~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 20:41, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Darth Stabro, thanks for the review! Rob Reischel is a well-known reported of the Packers, who worked for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and has written 8 books on the Packers. I believe this meets the requirement that a Forbes contributor is a subject matter expert. Thanks! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:52, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Gonzo_fan2007 did some digging and it seems to be so, and the Forbes contributor prohibition does explicitly state that those who are proven experts are exempt. Nihil obstat. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 21:01, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - Darth_Stabro, thanks! Probably the hardest article I have ever written... probably the saddest I have ever been as a Packers fan. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:45, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
