1961 Championship in the New York Times


Happy New Year to Everyone! On January 1, 1962, the day after the Green Bay Packers defeated the New York Giants 37-0 at City Stadium (now Lambeau Field), this was the coverage in The New York Times. On the front page, Vince Lombardi’s first NFL championship got very minimal attention (on the bottom lower left), but much more coverage inside. These files are high resolution so that you can click, view, and enlarge to read this historic coverage.
