Mercein in the Western Conference Title Game

Today we have a photo of Packers’ running back Chuck Mercein gaining hard-fought yardage in the 1967 Western Conference Championship game in Milwaukee’s County Stadium. Mercein played in 22 games for Green Bay from 1967-1969. In the game he’s pictured in today, he scored on a six yard run in the third quarter, contributing to the Packers’ 28-7 victory. The win propelled the team into the storied “Ice Bowl” NFL Championship Game eight days later.
