Dell’s Pro Football — 1958 Season

We hope that some of you enjoyed the complete television broadcast of the 1961 N.F.L. title game which was the Packers’ first championship since 1944. Today we return to presenting some classic publications from years gone by that feature our Green Bay Packers. We head back to the last year before Vince Lombardi arrived in Titletown, the 1958 season under head coach Ray “Scooter” McLean. It was to be an illustrious year that saw the team finish with a 1-10-1 record. Sports writer Red Smith at the time quipped of the Packers' dreadful 1958 season, "The Packers overwhelmed one opponent, underwhelmed 10, and whelmed one."
