Taylor in the Mud
Our visual treat for today is a beautiful shot of Green Bay fullback Jim Taylor (#31) fighting for yardage in the mud of the 1965 NFL Championship game against the Cleveland Browns. The day was New Year’s Day — January 1, 1966 and a heavy snowfall rendered the Lambeau Field playing surface quite a bit less than frozen. The Packers triumphed that day for championship No. 3 under Vince Lombardi. Also visible in this photo are Jerry Kramer (#64), Boyd Dowler (#86), Ken Bowman (#57), and Paul Hornung (#5) on the ground, while Bart Starr (#15) watches the play after handing off the ball to Taylor.
