Um, was that the freezer that quit working, and the meat has been
unrefrigerated for about 2 months?

If not, ;-) cryovac meat will keep forever in the freezer. Literally,
forever.

Wait a minute, you said refrigerator. Yes, it's probably still good.
Open the package, and you'll know if it's OK or not. If it smells OK,
it is OK. Rinse it off it if makes you feel better. HTH
