The 1967 Green Bay Packers repeated as Super Bowl Champions while scoring arguably the most famous QB sneak of all-time. The Packers won the NFL Central with a 9-4-1 record but lost their final 2 games of the regular season. Green Bay's defense was filled with future Hall of Famers including Ray Nitschke, Willie Davis, Willie Wood, and Herb Adderley and allowed 14.9 points per game. QB Bart Starr anchored the offense and was part of the decisive play in the Ice Bowl. Under bone-freezing conditions, Starr's one yard TD run against the Cowboys gave the Packers a 21-17 NFL Championship win. In Super Bowl II, Starr threw for 202 yards and was named MVP in a 33-14 victory over the Raiders. It was Vince Lombardi's final game as Packers head coach.
