After an almost two-week period of recovery after the Packers’ loss in the NFC Championship game, we’re back to our series on the 1967 “Ice Bowl” game. As we resume where we left off in early first quarter action, we see (above) some Dallas Cowboys players along the sideline trying to keep warm until they’re needed on the playing field.
Quarterback Bart Starr, behind the Green Bay offensive unit at the line of scrimmage, looks over the Dallas defense to make sure the play he has called does not need to be “audibled” because of something he sees.
The Packers’ mid-season addition at running back, Chuck Mercein, takes the handoff and heads towards the right side of the Green Bay line’s blocking, looking to make his move through the hole.
Another view of Bart Starr behind center shows the North end zone of Lambeau Field, where we can see the administration building through the stands which were not “closed” into a “bowl” at that time.
How on earth these young ladies were able to stand the cold in these outfits is beyond us. After experiencing the third coldest game in NFL history two weeks ago, we know what that kind of cold feels like for three or four hours.
