Packers 34, Dallas 27
1966 NFL Championship
Jan. 1, 1967, at Cotton Bowl, Dallas
Bart Starr, in one of his finest hours, threw four touchdowns, and Tom Brown thwarted a last-minute Cowboys bid, leading Green Bay to its second straight title and fourth in six years.
With 28 seconds left, Brown stunned most of the 74,152 fans, when he intercepted Don Meredith's fourth-down pass in the end zone.
The Packers mounted a quick 14-0 lead, after Starr hit Elijah Pitts on a 21-yard touchdown, and rookie Jim Grabowski returned a fumble 18 yards for a score. But an explosive Dallas comeback cut the margin to 21-17 by halftime, and 21-20 after Danny Villanueva's third-quarter field goal. Starr then hit Boyd Dowler and Max McGee with 16- and 28-yard scoring passes, respectively, to provide a cushion against the Cowboys' late surge.
