The Packers launched the Super Bowl series by whipping Kansas City's AFL champions, 35-10, behind Bart Starr, Max McGee and a key interception by All-Pro safety Willie Wood.
Vince Lombardi's repeating NFL champions broke open the game with three second-half touchdowns. Wood set up the first, returning an interception 50 yards to the Chiefs' 5, with the Packers up only 14-10. Len Dawson's pass was intended for Kansas City tight end Fred Arbanas.
McGee, replacing Boyd Dowler (injured on the Packers' first series), after having caught only four passes all season, snared seven from Starr for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Elijah Pitts ran for two other scores, one on a 5-yard run in the third quarter, the other on a 1-yard bolt in the final period.
The Chiefs' only touchdown came on a 7-yard pass from Dawson to Curtis McClinton.
Starr, the game's first MVP, completed 16 of 23 passes for 250 yards and two TDs. The aging McGee caught both scores, 37 yards in the first quarter and a 13-yard catch in the decisive third period.
The Packers collected $15,000 per man and the Chiefs $7,500 apiece -- the largest single-game shares in the history of team sports at the time. The game was not a sellout; more than 30,000 seats remained empty.
