1965 Championship

[TheNylonfutluvr]

I too remember this game as a kid and was worried that the Packers playing the Browns with Jim Brown was going to be a long , long day , as it turned out all my worrying was for nothing as it turned out to be a long , long day for Cleveland as well as Jim Brown !

I'm from Texas and I love the Green Bay Packers , but especially from this era !

[1976GGus1]

I remember that game.Jim Brown, pulled a Le Bron James. He simply quit in the second half.Didn't block, didn't run with determination.

[2stich]

i thought the first super bowl was in 67?

[PhillipCreeper]

It was a bad call by an official that kept Baltimore out of this game rather than Baltimore.

[TheNewyorkfashion]

this is when football was football.

[toolkien]

One dislike?

Come on Brett, great stuff DID happen before you came...

[kewlbreez77]

@toolkien ... and now even better things are happening after he's left; thnx f/ the Super Bowl Win Brett...

[theman211294]

I'm from Chicago but I have to admit that both the Packers and the Bears have the best, most successful franchises in pro sports history.

[kewlbreez77]

@theman211294 Um, nope, not even close; in NFL history Packers are 1st, Bears or Pittsburgh 2nd, maybe. But THE most successful franchise in [American] Pro sports history is the NY Yankees: 27 World Series championships, no one else comes even remotely close: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL no way no how. Green Bay is Titletown ONLY in NFL; they are my favorite NFL team [I'm a fan since the mid 60's, watched the Ice Bowl, & both SB I & II] I hope they win this year & next f/ a 1st ever Super Bowl 3-peat !!

[upperslobodia]

@kewlbreez77 btw The Canadiens have won the Stanley Cup 24 times.

[FRSFreeState]

1965 the first of three straight NFL Championships for the Packers. Still the last franchise to win 3 straight championships.

[kewlbreez77]

@FRSFreeState Going 19-0 is damn near impossible, but I hope they do it this year, and repeat next yr 2b the 1st ever 3-peat Super Bowl winners... after that I can relax again! ---> Packer fan since the mid 60's here! I can still vividly remember watching the Ice Bowl on TV; incredible, that last drive... the penalty, the Starr TD, and waiting out the final seconds, whew! Then on to Super Bowls... what a ride!

[dirac33]

@kewlbreez77 NFC Championship 2011 - Falcons 31, Packers 30 :) in LAMMMMMBEAU FIELD on the FROOOOZEN TUNDRA this cold day in January 2012, Brett Favre-ish Aaron Rodgers met his match in Bart Starr throwback-ish Matt Ryan...The Falcons pounded the Packers with an old-style running game and clockwork precision that reminded one of the heady days of the mid-60s and the Starr-era Pack..Meanwhile the suddenly stingy Falcons secondary picked Rodgers 3 times that ultimately accounted for 10 points..

[kewlbreez77]

@dirac33 Um, the Falcons suck this year, and they won't make it anywhere near the NFC Championship game. "Brett Farve-ish Aaron Rodgers"? Lay off the drugs dude, you're out of your mind. Matt Ryan doesn't come close to the kind of QB Rodgers is, check the stats.

[dirac33]

@kewlbreez77 Lighten up dude. Just for that peevish and childish outburst, we'll crush you even more!

[kewlbreez77]

Also, try liveing in the real world, not your drug induced fantasy-land psuedo-reality existence ! ;-) Rodgers is much more than well on pace to have one of the greatest seasons EVER for a QB. And Farve?, who I was very excited about about for having finally helped bring a Super Bowl Trophy back to Lambeau; his stats are a result of prolonged longevity, but he isn't anywhere near the QB Rodgers is.

[socrates1818]

jim brown's last game, he never played well against the Pack, browns never beat Pack in the Lombardi era!

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

There jersey and logo haven't changed at all...

[wwfewcwtnaecw]

There jersay and logo haven't changed at all...

[jimmylegs06]

People tore down the goal posts after the game and paraded them around in downtown Green bay that night well into the morning hours.

[budmanbudfan]

wow. this was the game i became a packer fan. i was 6. alot of lean years with the packers. great memories. thank you

[ummagooftroop2]

Pack won Superbowl 45.

I damn near cried.

Go has favor on the Green Bay Packers.

[masterbait666]

GO PACK GO!!!

[PhillipCreeper]

The Packers won in OT in a playoff game with Baltimore. The Pack tied it at 13 all in the last minute on a field goal that was obviously wide but called good by the refs. In fact the Packer kicker knew he missed it when he turned his head in disgust. Otherwise it would have been the Colts vs Browns again.

[PhillipCreeper]

Regarding Taylor and Brown both were great but the one year that Taylor beat Brown in rushing (Brown didn't even make 100 yards because he had to sit out the second half of a game due to injuries) they did a survey of NFL players and they voted Brown the best back in the NFL in spite of his being beaten by Taylor in rushing. These are guys that would know.

[rentslave]

The Bills were at their peak that year,shutting out the Chargers in the AFL title game.If the Superbowl were played one year earlier,who knows what would have happened?

[MrJavinbur]

MIAMI D0LPHINS TEAM... WE Da LOYAL FANS OF Da MIAMI DOLPHINS CHALLENGE U 2 SHOW Y0UR B0SS STEVE R0SS n JEF IRELAND DAT Da D0LPHINS CAN G0 2 N.Y. n WHIP SUM JETS @SS n BRING BAC A WIN 2 BEAUTIFUL SOUTH BEACH...DAMN RITE!!!

[nighthawk50]

This is football at its best. No domes, no "look at me" celebrations, no WWE type introductions... real "team" players who sacrificed their own personal glory to pursue a team championship. Lawd I miss this kind of football. Thank you for sharing this classic!

[pedromusgo]

Gay music and the guys voice is like a 4 out of 10.

[impassable]

Nowdays Hornug would probably go undrafted cause he couldn't run the 40 in two seconds...how sad

[cfhighlightvideo]

@impassable Hornug was actually fast and could run a fast 40 with modern training and conditions. This game was played in thick mud and no fancy cleats to get around it either.

[cfhighlightvideo]

Abraham Benjamin Woodson, considered the fastest player to ever put on pads. He and Hornung agreed to a 100-yard match race. Hornung won by five yards. Woodson was a cornerback and kick returner, his average on kick returns is one of the highest in the history of the position. So yeah, like I said, Hornug was fast

[TracyAndersonFoxhunt]

what a waste of life, playing football... that's for kids, of course, these assholes ARE little kids in immature men's bodies... fuckin born losers

[grassfarmer42]

@TracyAndersonFoxhunt

get a life you left wing loon

[TracyAndersonFoxhunt]

@grassfarmer42 shutup you democrat faggot

[GilHodgesFan]

I thought baseball was not the same anymore but after looking over clips of the 1960's Packers, football is not the same anymore either. Today the Quarterback of any football team doesn't have to make any decisions on plays. The plays are fed to him electronically!!! He doesn't have to make any skillful decisions! My husband is a Packers fan and i am a baseball fan. I don't know much about football but it was disappointing to learn the QB doesn't make his own decisions anymore.

[cfhighlightvideo]

@GilHodgesFan guys like Manning call their own plays all the time. The plays are more complex. The offensive coordinator is usually sitting high up and can see the defensive alignments better and knows how to take advantage of what they are trying to do. For the better quarterbacks in the league the plays called in are usually suggestions, Quarterbacks have the option to audbile into another play based on what they see. Most teams run the WCO, complicated compared to the old stuff

[FrsBigeasy]

1965 the last season played before the Super Bowl era

[tonsuke96815]

GREAT sWEEP & GAME~~

[rentslave]

Under today's instant replay and challenge rules,the Packers may not have even made it.Don Chandler's FG against the Colts was very dubious.

[Rasdrizzy]

Im related to God.

[rygasewicz]

We all are

[ripperduck]

@Rasdrizzy I'm related to Vince Lombardi, Jim Brown, Ichirio, the Pope and God on my mom's side....

[lsu2007dyansty]

I'm related to Jim taylor

[fatcatsathat]

Even though this game was played before my time, I have seen it in footage and know enough about it to say that this was truly old school football at its best. It is kind of sad that football is not played like this anymore.

[gfscarface13]

Packers SUCK!!!!

Only 1 title in 42 years after Lombardi

LMAO

[plntntvzn]

But Taylor and Hornung WERE there for 1966. It was NOT until 1967 when the expansion Saints came to be,that Taylor and Hornung had left for New Orleans.

[marquettefootball]

In '66, Taylor was old and ineffective, Hornung was injured.  Starr carried the Packers' offense the next two years. Heck, he threw three times as many 40+ yard TD passes as he did total INT's in '66!

[plntntvzn]

Excellent point. Starr really was underrated as a QB, and a model of efficiency. In 1966 & 1967 he really sliced up a very good Dallas defense in championship games and in 1961 & 1962, he sliced up a very good NY Giant defense in championship games.

[proffromgview]

Idiot comment by that former Packer Center.....yeah, it never snows in Cleveland....right. Lake Effect snow, anyone?? Duhhhh

[tailgateexperience]

I was there. It snowed heavily that morning. As my brother and I entered Lambeau, they asked us and many others to help shovel off the field. So, we did.

[belitnakoff]

@tailgateexperience I would love to have been there for that game. Jim Brown, Bart Starr, Taylor, that is history!

[tigerwoodsondxm]

man if only i was alive back then ... thanks to well now I HATE THAT BRETT GUY .. i can say i saw the Packers win a Super Bowl and to stop Jim Brown for 50 yards ... wow ... Just like that playoff game against the Lions holding Barry Sanders to -2 yards i think ........ GO PACK GO PACK!!

[cfhighlightvideo]

@tigerwoodsondxm Jim Brown was shut down a few times in crucial games, espescially against the Giants and Sam Huff, while Jim Taylor couldn't be stopped by them. Its sad that Jim Brown is considered the greatest of all time and nobody talks about Jim Taylor. Taylor was right behind Brown every season in production, and even had him beat one season. The difference is that Taylor never got the same number of carries as Brown, yet was always had similar production and was never shut down

[cfhighlightvideo]

they were often compared to each other during that time period though as being 1a and 1b

“Jim Brown will give you that leg and take it away from you,” Vince Lombardi wrote in Run to Daylight. “Taylor will give it to you and ram it through your chest.”

But now people act like Taylor wouldn't do jack in today's NFL and Jim Brown would dominate

[FrsBigeasy]

The way to beat the Lombardi Packers was not to play them in December or January @ Lambeau Field. If you did that you had a shot.

[vprygoski]

now that is some good old fashioned football! in the snow and mud of Green Bay. none of this indoor stadium crap. Ray Nitschke did a great job keying on Jim Brown in this game, and of course the Packer sweep worked like a charm.

[carter20081985]

we kick ur ass jim brown

[rygasewicz]

Have you seen the You Tube post on the Ice Bowl?

Type in The Ice Bowl Story or The Story of the Ice Bowl

Great Posr

[frankd1965]

In 1965. "Curly" Lambeau passed away and the field was named in his honor.

Two years later. "The Ice Bowl"!

[olidesking58]

Is there any Radio Broadcast of this title game?

[jimmyjohns2089]

go packers rember their name for they truley are the greates there every has and will be

[JIMJ32X]

Woooo Hooooooooo Go PACK Goooooooooooooo!!!!!

[honolulublue37]

Green Bay 23 Cleveland 12

[lilvinnyd101693]

who won?

[jamezpackerfan]

The pack won

[ricsanta1]

And one of the main reasons the Packers won was because on this day (January 2, 1966) they held Cleveland's Jim Brown to only 50 yds. rushing.

[jamezpackerfan]

Those are both my favorite football teams. The Browns and Packers.

[tommylord]

Me too. I've been a Packer fan since 1968, and adopted the Browns as my AFC favorite about ten years later.

[jamezpackerfan]

same here. i gotta pull for the browns here though. jim brown could not play that well on that frozen mud.

[Speyrer88]

superb!!!

[scumfuc616]

One time Vince Lombardi called one of his players a stupid SOB. Vince later went back to the player to apologize. He said "I'm sorry I called you a SOB.....But you are stupid."

[dfc278]

Is that a true story? That is awesome, Lombard was the best their was, is, and ever damn will be!!! And I am a die hard Steeler fan!!!! But man I love watching old films of Packer football!

[scumfuc616]

its very true i read it in a biography somewhere.

[ripperduck]

Probably. Lombardi is one tough, no nonsense dude who expected the same from his teams. Mean, tough, smart as hell and a former Fordham guard who got a lot of teeth knocked out when he blocked some guy and got that players knee into him mouth. Lombardi kept playing and it told you what kind of guy he was. I teach HS math/physics and I just wonder what it would be like if I could teach the way Lombardi coached and taught. He taught HS too. They would fire me in a day, the little babies.

[norsemustang]

You'd probably make all the girls in the class cry, but you'd be one hell of a teacher.

[rygasewicz]

It was said that if you were injured and Lombardi had his back turned you did not come out. If he was looking at you and was smiling you could come out. One tough coach.

[Purrturbed]

I read a bio on Vince. Seems he was something of a wuss when the pain was in his body.

[rygasewicz]

He did die of cancer. So he was in a lot of pain for being a wuss.

[Purrturbed]

C'mon. This was years before he had cancer. He frequently whined about aches and pains of his own. He could give speeches to his players about pain but wasn't much about enduring routine pain himself.

[rygasewicz]

Look at Phil Jackson> He wants to coach only at home. He wants some one else to coach on the road. Little contradiction there. Selling out. Make that comitment players while I stay home. Enough said Lombardi was one of the great wuus coaches of all time. The Players respected him. Score board. That is all that counts.

[Purrturbed]

I totally agree. If you are interested in a great bio of Vince check out "When Pride Still Mattered." I read it twice. He was quite a guy.

[marquettefootball]

Part of what makes great leaders sometimes is that they recognize their own faults and drive that fault out of those they lead. He was very human, and that's part of what made him the best coach ever.

[Purrturbed]

Cancer is a terrible way to die. Dying of cancer and run of the mill complaining about routine aches and pains are two different things. I'm older than Vince was when he died. I don't complain about such things. Cancer? Whole different kind of pain. Coaching? He was something else.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love it!

Thank you!!

[pearjuicejr]

Great video! thank you for posting this.

[tigermark64]

I have the DVD about the legend of Lambeau Field, so I do recognize this program. Thanks for posting it.

[Harshcore811]

The Packers organization is one of the best stories in the history of sports in the USA. It was so cool how the community rallied around that team. They are the last small market team to survive. How cool is that.

[panzerson2]

go pack go

[selloutasaurus]

great history!thanx4posting!

[SteelersStillSuck]

I respect the frozen tundra my fellow Midwestern Football fans. But I think if there was any other team that would be prepared for that kind of weather it'd have been the Cleveland Brownies!

[Purrturbed]

I watched the entire game on TV. I'm was a huge Browns fan and the Packers out-played them. The Browns should have been able to play better that day because they often played in the same stuff in old Municipal Stadium. The better team won that day. I recall the Packers scoring the first TD. The Browns came back with a TD by Gary Collins. The extra point was missed. After that it was downhill.
