On the eve of “The Big Day,” we go back to December 1967, and the second-to-last game of the season. The Packers were in L.A. to play the Rams, and this subsequent December 18 issue of Sports Illustrated tells us the story of what happened that day.
Green Bay would go on to lose the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. But, don’t worry, they beat the Rams again in Milwaukee for the Western Conference title before winning it all against the Cowboys in the Ice Bowl on New Year’s Eve.
