The Ice Bowl — 51 Years Ago Today


Yesterday’s cold day at Lambeau Field was not even close to the frigid conditions during the 1967 NFL Championship game on New Year’s Eve — 51 years ago today. This is of course the famed “Ice Bowl” game that many consider to be one of the two best games in NFL history (the other being the 1958 NFL Championship). Today we present the coverage of that game from the January 8, 1968 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine. For much more coverage of the “Ice Bowl,” please check out our extended coverage on last year’s 50th anniversary here).
