In the summer of 1964, the Packers were gearing up to make a run at a championship after being thwarted by their conference rival Chicago Bears for the 1963 N.F.L. title. It would’ve been three-in-a-row for the second time in team history if they’d been able to pull it off. Here is a publication from before the ’64 season, and we’re featuring their predition for our Green Bay Packers in that season.
The Packers (8-5-1) finished four games behind the Western Conference champion Baltimore Colts (12-2), who would lose to the Eastern Conference champs Cleveland Browns by a score of 27-0 in the N.F.L. title game at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio, on December 27, 1964. Green Bay’s fortunes would fare much better in 1965.
