As we’ve spotlighted before, the 1965 NFL title game was a muddy affair on January 2, 1966. Played in Green Bay, the wet, sloppy snow conditions translated into a field of mud for the game. In today’s photo, Cleveland’s Vince Costello (#50) wraps a tackle around Green Bay’s running back Jim Taylor (#31). The Packers won the game 23-12, securing their third NFL title of the Lombardi Era.
