Today’s posting features a photo of Packers’ running back Travis Williams being hoisted and carried off the Milwaukee County Stadium field after the 1967 Western Conference championship on December 23, 1967. The Packers defeated the Rams 28-7 in that game, which was played in front of 49,861 fans in 20-degree weather.
According to the Milwaukee Journal’s original coverage, “Rookie halfback Travis Williams continued his impressive work with Green Bay’s regular running backs mostly wounded. He scored two touchdowns — one on a 46 yard burst through right tackle and then around the outside, the other on a two yard squirm over right guard.” Williams finished with 88 yards on 18 carries. He also had one catch for 8 yards.
