Today, on “Super Sunday,” when many of us think the Packers should be playing the Patriots instead of the Giants, we continue our coverage of the 1967 NFL championship game. In this first photo (above), we see Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr just prior to releasing his pass behind the blocking of left guard #68 Gale Gillingham, left tackle #76 Bob Skoronski, fullback #30 Chuck Mercein, and a player who is blurred but believed to be tight end #81 Marv Fleming.
Starr’s pass goes eight yards over the middle to #86 Boyd Dowler for the game’s first score. Dowler was covered by Cowboys defensive back #23 Mike Johnson.
Dowler jogs along the back of the South end zone on his way back to the Packers’ bench along the western sideline of Lambeau Field.
Green Bay placekicker #34 Don Chandler boots the extra point through the uprights after the Packers’ first touchdown.
The frosty Lambeau Field scoreboard shows the score at 7-0 after the Packers’s first drive. The Green Bay drive traveled 82 yards in 14 plays, and included two penalties.
