Packers vs. Colts 1960


For today we have a vintage game program cover from the 1960 October Sunday when the Baltimore Colts came to town to play the Packers in the four-year-old “new” City Stadium — which wouldn’t become “Lambeau Field” for another five years. On that day, the Packers defeated the Colts 35-21 with the passing of Lamar McHan (Bart Starr was not yet the starter), who completed six out of 14 for 86 yards and one TD. He also ran for one score. The rushing efforts of Jim Taylor gained only 47 yards but scored three TD’s for Green Bay. In the stands, 32,150 fans enjoyed the Packers victory in 66-degree Fall temperatures.
