Pitts Scores the Final TD
Running Back Elijah Pitts, #22, runs the final one yard of the drive to score Super Bowl I’s last touchdown behind the blocking of Tight End Marv Fleming, #81. Pitts rushed for 45 yards on 11 carries and scored twice, racking up 4.1 yards-per-carry average. His longest was a run of 12 yards. Pitts played for the Packers from 1961-1969 and again in 1971. He was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1979. After his playing career ended, he was an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Rams, Houston Oilers, and the Buffalo Bills, coaching in all four of the Bills' Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s.
