PHILADELPHIA For the better part of three hours Sunday afternoon, Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson sat in his seat in the third row of the Lincoln Financial Field press box and showed little emotion.
But Thompson couldn't keep his poker face after Tramon Williams' interception with 33 seconds remaining sealed the Packers' 21-16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC wild card playoff game before a crowd of 69,144.
In a you-had-to-see-it-to-believe-it moment, the normally reserved Thompson stood up and pumped his fist. A few seats to his right, Packers director of college scouting John Dorsey leaned back in his chair and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
