The posting for today is the 1964 Green Bay Packers Yearbook publication, which features an image of quarterback Bart Starr behind center during a game against the Los Angeles Rams (the Packers won this October 6, 1963 contest in Green Bay, 42-10).
In 1964, the Packers would finish with an 8-5-1 record, tying them with Minnesota for second place in the Western Conference. This was hailed to be a “comeback” year for both the team (after narrowly missing the 1963 NFL title game) and for running back Paul Hornung who returned from his one-year suspension for gambling. But it was not to be. They were beaten by Baltimore (twice), Minnesota, Los Angeles, and San Francisco — and then they tied the Rams in the final game of the season.
