Literally brings tears to my eyes watching something I grew up with. This was when the game was that, a game without all the celebrity hoopla and the big money thing. After the Steel Curtain won their 4th Super Bowl in 1980 I would gradually lose interest. in the years after.
@GialloHorror Unfortunately CBS destroyed the original tape of the game because they would re-use videotape for something else later on. NFL films has the surviving footage beside anyone else who had a film camera at the game. I have never believed that there is such a thing called a lost film--it is out there someplace, they are found all the time
@hoss73ford1 I figured as much. It sucks too man, there's so many old games I'd love to see that I'll, probably, never find.
Super Bowl I & II (even though I guess a copy of Super Bowl I was found, but it only has 3 quarters) I'd also love to see the 1968 AFL and NFL championship games, as well as Super Bowl V.
I don't think full copies of any of these games exist. Anyone have a time machine? lol
@hoss73ford1 Hey--go to hulu.com. I found a one hour 6 minute film that has virtually all the play by plays(minus huddles, time outs, halftime, etc) Also has commentarys form many of the players & commentators from the teams, plus a few from some who have since passed away such as Don Meredith, Ray Nitchke, Elijah Pitts, Ray Scott. 45 years has passed but it all came back yesterday
This game will live in my mind until I die. I was 14 years old in 1967 and have been a Packer fan since the year before when the Packers beat Dallas 34-27. Bart Starr is my favorite player of all time and I have had the chance to meet him a couple of times. That last drive is to me the greatest drive I have ever seen when you consider the weather.
New Years Day 1967 I was 6 years old and my Dad had bought our first color tv. We watched the Ice Bowl together & cheering for the Packers. The following year I bought a biography of Bart Starr through the scholastic school books program at my school. Bart Starr was a great quarterback, & I'm still a Packer fan today. Oh sure, I'll watch the super bowl but nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to the thrill I had watching that game live being 6 years old & my dad yelling Go Packers!
Thank you so much for posting this. This is the first NFL game I remember seeing as a kid. It made me a lifelong GreenBay fan. The final play, the sneak, choked me up!
How were these guys able to withstand this cold???...i am shivering just watching this....truly amazing...not enough money in the world for me to play in this weather
wasn't the 1981 afc championship even colder than this?? i remember reading somewhere that it was so cold the down markers froze to the turf at riverfront stadium...
@domirules28 I believe the 81 title game in Cinci was the 2nd coldest playoff game of all time behind the Ice Bowl. And Giants-Packers in Jan 08 was 3rd coldest.
this footage is from espn's greatest games series. they were condensed versions of the game.
i believe they used actual radio broadcast's and matched them up to game footage. these are not the actual tv broadcast. i actually have the whole episode of this on an old vcr tape,but i dont have a working vcr,or i would upload it. still,this is a nice video tho.
My parents drove to this game, with a few other couples. One of their friends had 6 free FREE tickets, so they went. They froze, but had bragging rights for decades after the fact.
god imagine it....... that field must have been hard as concrete, divots in the frozen turf must have felt lime falling on jagged rocks... the players didnt have underarmor or the conviences like today..... this was a MANS GAME!!! (or a bunch of friggin idiots getting hypothermia and frost bite! lol)
my grandfather is the announcer in this video and it's so much more amazing to hear this story from him, my father was also at this game. It's amazing!
I only wish that I could have been around to see this, but I can say that my grandfather was there with his brother, and was out on the field afterwards celebrating with everyone. 44 years later, I sit anxiously in the 67,000's on the season ticket waiting list. how great is it to be a packers fan?
THIS is football. The great Bart Starr and all the rest.... No dumbass KID ROCK "trying" to sing before the game. Notice NO names on the backs of the jerseys. They played this for the love of the game NOT MONEY. Lombardi would roll over in his grave if he could see the BS going on now in the NFL.
Unfortunately this was the last glimpse of glory in Green Bay for 29 years. I bet noone in the stands that day could have anticipated the "Gory Years" that lay ahead of them and the futile play under Bengston, Devine, Starr, Gregg and Infante.
I wonder why most vintage football footage is always slightly in slow-mo. I can't remember the last time it was played at the normal pace you see today. Of course I just don't know the kind of tech they had then, or what not.
I'm a 40 something year old Cowboys fan. I know every playoff score from the '60 through '81. All I can say is I am proud my team played in this legendary game and I give the Packers all the credit for finding a seemingly hopeless way to win on that last almost 70 yard drive. Congrats GB for winning your 5 titles in I think 8 years. Not happy(especially losing losing 34-27 in NFL Champ game the year before), but I respect what GB accomplished.
For all the talk of the greatest qb's, I rank Starr at the top. The reason is that is post season qb rating is the highest in history, 104. Second come Kurt Warner at 102. No one else comes close, Montana is third at 94. IMO, the post season ratings are the most meaningful, due to the fact that the best teams are playing each other. Starr not only had the the highest ratings, his ratings actually went up when he played the best teams. To play your best against the best makes u the best, imo.
@ripperduck I'm not sure where you got your numbers, but Aaron Rodgers has the highest postseason rating, after 150 attempts, with 112.6; Starr is second at 104.8; Kurt Warner third with 102.8; Drew Brees fourth with 102.0; and Joe Montana fifth with 95.6.
ALl I can say is that the Packers are my #1 team forever. Regardless. I LOVE Farve, and he is a true hall of famer. He is a great QB, and anyone saying that he isn't because he left Green Bay to go to the Jets and then Minnesota re just jerks. He's amazing. However, Aaron Rodgers is up and coming and has won the title at the same age Farve did, at the age of 27. Go, Pack, GO!!! Forever a Packer fan, living in Wisconsin. Go, Pack, GOOOO!!! Super Bowl 45 -- YES!
Back when football was football. Rain or shine, sleet or snow the game would go on. The love of the game knew no weather restrictions. Players didn't make millions of dollars and were happy to just be doing something they loved.
One thing always bothered me about this game. Since the Packers "thrive" as a cold weather team, how on earth did Dallas almost win this game? Dallas is a warm weather team and by rights, Green Bay should have run away with this game from the opening snap from center.
@SirReal1958 Dallas was one of the best teams in the nfl from about the mid 60's to the mid 80's. We could have had a super bowl victory that season if it hadn't been for Green Bay lucking out. Vince Lombardi thought the game was over and picked a rushing play to end it quickly. Landry thought he was going to kick a field goal or go with a pass. Bart surprised us and was able to get the ball in. Tom Landry led the cowboys to 20 winning seasons. Football was a much harder game back then.
@SirReal1958 I think what it was also was the level of frigidness. The windchill measured by today's standards was about 36 degrees below zero and the overall temp was in the minus 20's. The feild was literally frozen solid. The refs couldn't even blow their whistles. They had to shout. I remember reading that one of the packers players had six frostbitten toes after the game.
erness, i imagine you have plenty of company. this game is surely part of the fabric of the lives of those of our generation ( well, those of us who are football fans )
Thanks to the man who likes greenbay in England for answering my question, Lol i apologize i did not watch the whole video the whole way through. But thanks and great video, good quality, and good music!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is the most racist thing I have seen since Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul's presidential runs. Thankfully America doesn't even resemble this at all anymore!
@erness11111 Don't worry. When I went to my first Packers game at Lambeau Field (Their first win that led them to the Super Bowl against the Giants 45-17) and when we got off the exit onto Lombardi Ave. and my dad and I saw Lambeau Field for the first time, we both started to tear up.
@erness11111 No need for you to feel absurd friend. I watched this game on TV at age 14. I loved the Packers not just because they always won, but more for the reasons they won. Courage, will, charcter, poise, and the list goes on. This game, especially that final drive, said it all about the Packers of the 1960's. If they were the team of the 60's at the opening kickoff, they were the team of the ages, at the final gun.
Regarding Packers' home field advantage in the Ice Bowl, at that time, the NFL rotated the location of the game every year with the Eastern Conference champ hosting the title game one year and then the Western Conference champ the following year. The Cowboys hosted Green Bay in the 1966 title game and still lost to Green Bay. In 1962, Packers had a 13-1 record and still had to travel to New York to play the Giants because it was the East's turn to host the game. The weather affected both teams.
@pkman53 - later on there was some talk that someone stole the Cowboys thermal underwear before the game in order to insure a Packer win. Don't know if this is true.
Today, the average high school suburban football team here in the Twin Cities area is bigger overall than the Packers were back then!
you know whenever they mention the packers winning their super bowls they never mention that they had home field advantage. how was this even close to fair for the cowboys? i call bullshit on the whole deal.
Oh - those two losses to end the regular season? To the Rams and the Colts! In the first playoff game, the Packers CRUSHED the heavily favored Rams who had not lost since early October. For unknown reasons, the Packers had home field advantage even though the Rams had beaten them in the regular season and had a far better record.
@antimatterXXXIII The NFL never used the home field advantage to determine playoff game location back in the sixties. They just rotated from year to year without regard to regular season records.
One more piece of trivia - this was the first year of 4 divisions in the league, for some reason called "Capital, Century, Coastal, and Central" (did Pete Rozelle have a C fetish?) The Packers were a relatively tame 9-4-1 and finished the season with two losses. The Coastal division had both the Rams and Colts at 11-1-2, and the Rams took the division on tiebreaker, so perhaps the best Colts team ever did not even make the postseason!
Sadly there is no video from this game! The videotape was expensive and got re-used. Imagine - taped over by a soap opera! I was trying to remember who the color commentator for CBS was, alongside Ray Scott.
Players will tell you the 1962 NFL Championship Game in Yankee Stadium (Packers vs Giants) was played under even worse conditions. The wind was howling, the temperature in the low teens, there was no sunlight (all in shade - as Yogi said, it got late early in Yankee Stadium), and the field was hard as a brick from being frozen for weeks. Paul Hornung described it as the hardest hitting game he was ever involved with. Players had missing patches of skin which were not missed until it warmed up.
I lived and grew up in rockford Ill. and it was 13 below zero at our house. I was 9 at the time and remember my dad going out at half time to run the car for a while in the hope it might start the next morning.
As a Bear fan i hated the Packers and was cheering for the Cowboys. The game honestly should not have been close. The Pack led by 14-0 and looked to score after an int. The Cowboys never could drive the ball and scored on defense and on that halfback option. What a game!
Don Meredith spent two days in a Dallas hospital recovering after the game. Several players for both teams still have circualtion issues to this day. And a fan who was at the game died from exposure a few days later.
@mrkingofkings I would say Dallas got their revenge long ago against Green Bay. I can remember 2 playoff games Dallas won-- 1982 and 1995 (NFC Championship), and I think there was one other; but only a conference championship comes close to the magnitude of this game, which was the 'real deal' then instead of the second Super Bowl (which still wasn't officially called that). Also I remember Dallas had a 7-game winning streak against GB, and they finally won at Lambeau in 2007.
@omidsarmad No, this was the NFL Championship Game that put the Packers in the second Super Bowl. At this time the American and National Football leagues had not yet merged to form the "modern" NFL; that didn't happen 'till after Super Bowl IV, when KC beat Minnesota for the AFL's second consecutive victory.
@omidsarmad no..but it was the NFL championship which was considered the super bowl. The super bowl was created to match the NFL champ against the AFL champ. The AFL was a different league at that time..they later merged together to form the NFL. The NFC conference is the old NFL teams and the AFC conference is the old AFL league.
Jerry Kramer moved before the all was snapped on the last play but was never called.Have seen it happen several times on tape.Kramer later admitted that he jumped to
@generationll If you've seen the whole thing, its apparent on those same tapes that Donny Anderson actually made it into the endzone and scored two plays prior to the Sneak, but the officials placed the ball short.
@jimpurdie Just goes to show what a crazy bunch of SOBs we Wisconsinites are, we'll head out in deathly cold weather,and PAY to sit for hours, on freezing cold benches, to watch players endure the pain of catching a ball in subzero temperatures... and we'll enjoy every min of it.
Unlike the cowardly vikings who built an indoor stadium named after a MALL!

@erness11111 Don't worry. When I went to my first Packers game at Lambeau Field (Their first win that led them to the Super Bowl against the Giants 45-17) and when we got off the exit onto Lombardi Ave. and my dad and I saw Lambeau Field for the first time, we both started to tear up.

@erness11111 No need for you to feel absurd friend. I watched this game on TV at age 14. I loved the Packers not just because they always won, but more for the reasons they won. Courage, will, charcter, poise, and the list goes on. This game, especially that final drive, said it all about the Packers of the 1960's. If they were the team of the 60's at the opening kickoff, they were the team of the ages, at the final gun.

Regarding Packers' home field advantage in the Ice Bowl, at that time, the NFL rotated the location of the game every year with the Eastern Conference champ hosting the title game one year and then the Western Conference champ the following year. The Cowboys hosted Green Bay in the 1966 title game and still lost to Green Bay. In 1962, Packers had a 13-1 record and still had to travel to New York to play the Giants because it was the East's turn to host the game. The weather affected both teams.

@pkman53 - later on there was some talk that someone stole the Cowboys thermal underwear before the game in order to insure a Packer win. Don't know if this is true.
Today, the average high school suburban football team here in the Twin Cities area is bigger overall than the Packers were back then!
What a game - what a time that was!!

you know whenever they mention the packers winning their super bowls they never mention that they had home field advantage. how was this even close to fair for the cowboys? i call bullshit on the whole deal.

Oh - those two losses to end the regular season? To the Rams and the Colts! In the first playoff game, the Packers CRUSHED the heavily favored Rams who had not lost since early October. For unknown reasons, the Packers had home field advantage even though the Rams had beaten them in the regular season and had a far better record.

@antimatterXXXIII The NFL never used the home field advantage to determine playoff game location back in the sixties. They just rotated from year to year without regard to regular season records.

One more piece of trivia - this was the first year of 4 divisions in the league, for some reason called "Capital, Century, Coastal, and Central" (did Pete Rozelle have a C fetish?) The Packers were a relatively tame 9-4-1 and finished the season with two losses. The Coastal division had both the Rams and Colts at 11-1-2, and the Rams took the division on tiebreaker, so perhaps the best Colts team ever did not even make the postseason!

Sadly there is no video from this game! The videotape was expensive and got re-used. Imagine - taped over by a soap opera! I was trying to remember who the color commentator for CBS was, alongside Ray Scott.

Players will tell you the 1962 NFL Championship Game in Yankee Stadium (Packers vs Giants) was played under even worse conditions. The wind was howling, the temperature in the low teens, there was no sunlight (all in shade - as Yogi said, it got late early in Yankee Stadium), and the field was hard as a brick from being frozen for weeks. Paul Hornung described it as the hardest hitting game he was ever involved with. Players had missing patches of skin which were not missed until it warmed up.

I lived and grew up in rockford Ill. and it was 13 below zero at our house. I was 9 at the time and remember my dad going out at half time to run the car for a while in the hope it might start the next morning.
As a Bear fan i hated the Packers and was cheering for the Cowboys. The game honestly should not have been close. The Pack led by 14-0 and looked to score after an int. The Cowboys never could drive the ball and scored on defense and on that halfback option. What a game!

Don Meredith spent two days in a Dallas hospital recovering after the game. Several players for both teams still have circualtion issues to this day. And a fan who was at the game died from exposure a few days later.

@mrkingofkings I would say Dallas got their revenge long ago against Green Bay. I can remember 2 playoff games Dallas won-- 1982 and 1995 (NFC Championship), and I think there was one other; but only a conference championship comes close to the magnitude of this game, which was the 'real deal' then instead of the second Super Bowl (which still wasn't officially called that). Also I remember Dallas had a 7-game winning streak against GB, and they finally won at Lambeau in 2007.

Is this a Superbowl Game?
omidsarmad 1 year ago
@omidsarmad No, this was the NFL Championship Game that put the Packers in the second Super Bowl. At this time the American and National Football leagues had not yet merged to form the "modern" NFL; that didn't happen 'till after Super Bowl IV, when KC beat Minnesota for the AFL's second consecutive victory.
donnpatc 1 year ago
@omidsarmad no..but it was the NFL championship which was considered the super bowl. The super bowl was created to match the NFL champ against the AFL champ. The AFL was a different league at that time..they later merged together to form the NFL. The NFC conference is the old NFL teams and the AFC conference is the old AFL league.

@generationll If you've seen the whole thing, its apparent on those same tapes that Donny Anderson actually made it into the endzone and scored two plays prior to the Sneak, but the officials placed the ball short.
