the Super Bowl to determine the champion of US professional football slated for Miami Florida this Sunday got me reminiscing this week about some of the great moments in Super Bowl and NFL championship history Although Ive never seen a game I haven t missed watching a title game on TV since 1957 My most vivid memories are of Vince powerful Green Bay Packer teams Here are the title games from I960 on as I remember them After years of second division finishes The Pack and The Man won their first western division title in I960 and almost upset the favored eastern division champion Philadelphia Eagles in Franklin Field Who can forget the sight of Chuck Bednarik stopping Jim Taylor after the bruising fullback had broken about four tackles in the closing minute of the game Bednarik 60 minute two way performance at centre and middle guard marked the end of an era for the NFLs stellar two way performers The Dutchman Norm Van Brocklin was at the helm of the Eagle team but the picture I recall most vividly as a Packer fan appeared in the dallies the next day It showed Eagle running back Bill Barnes with his arm neatly wrapped around Packer defensive end Bill leg as Ted Dean ran the ball over for the winning touchdown Powerful offensive My memories of the 1961 and title games between The Pack and Jim Lee Howell s New York Giants are not as vivid but I do remember Green Bay mustering one of the greatest offensive attacks of playoff history to win 370 in 61 and Jerry Kramer establishing a playoff record at that time by booting three field goals in a 167 Green Bay win in the shadows of Yankee Stadium in Freezing temperatures and a frozen field turf set the atmosphere for a classic defensive struggle in 1963 which saw George Halas Monsters of the Midway outlast New York Giants The Bear defensive unit headed by Ed Doug Atkins and Larry Morris treated Giant quarterback A Tittle to several face to face meetings with the frozen turf Morns was named outstanding player of the game a rare honor for a defensive player Browns blank Colts Cleveland Browns 270 whitewashing of Balimore Colts in 1964 was only the second win for an eastern division team since 1956 The Pack came back in 65 and began a five year reign as the kings of professional football with a win over the Browns the mud at Lambeau Field Thc Cotton Bowl in Dallas was the site of the game one of the most exciting of all time The upstart Cowboys had the Pack on the run and came within a hair of winning their first NFL crown before Green Bay pulled out a win The teams were the same but the temperature was about degrees cooler at Lambeau Field the next year when allPro guard Jerry Kramer found his famous toehold in the turf and moved out massive Bob Lilly allowing Bart Starr to sneak over for the winning touchdown on the final play of the game Bowl inaugural 1968 marked inauguration of the playoff between the NFL and the relatively new American Football League in the Super

Bowl calmly explaining to reporters how they planned to take apart the taunted Chief defence they went out on Sunday and did it to the tune of 3510 Oakland Raiders proved to be little better than the Chiefs at dethroning the Packers as the Pack rolled to their fifth straight title 3317 in 1969 Baltimore Colts who succeeded Green Bay as NFL champs the next year had lost only one game when they strode on to the Orange Bowl gridiron to try to uphold the superiority But Jets had a different Idea Namath called a masterful game passing to George Sauer and Don and sending Matt Snell crashing through the battered Colt line in between The result was a stunning upset win for the Jets a win that probably did more than anything else to convince fans the was for real lightning strikes Lightning never strikes twice at least not twice in the same spot Site of the Super Bowl was switched to Tulane Stadium in New Orleans better known to New Years Day TV viewers as the Sugar Bowl But Grants Minnesota Vikings had captured their first NFL title in impressive fashion knocking off the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns on suc cessive Sundays Hank Strains Kansas City Chiefs on the other hand had fought an uphill battle to reach the Super Bowl upsetting the Jets and Oakland Raiders Vikings were heavy favorites going into the game but Chief quarterback Dawson duplicated Namaths feat mixing plays superbly keeping the vicious Viking defence off balance and guiding Kansas City to a surprising 2317 win Results of the first season of inter league play show teams from the old NFL held a wide edge in play winning almost per cent of the games between themselves and teams from old Baltimore easily captured the AFC crown and the right to meet the NFL champion Dallas Cowboys in this years Super Bowl classic Colts victory eliminated the possibility of a rubber match between teams from the two old leagues but set up a game between teams with several similarities a game that should produce a true champion Broncos won first Lost in the background of classic struggles is the first victory ever recorded by an team over an NFL squad in or regular season play Believe it or not the distinction belongs to the lowly Denver Broncos one of only three teams in the entire 26 team league that has never participated in post season play Broncos scored a 1410 win over the Detroit Lions in a preseason encounter Broncos victory benefitted at least one member of the Lions gigantic tackle Alex Karras who had promised to walk home from Denver if the lions lost Consequently as the story goes
