The first AFL–NFL World Championship Game (known retroactively as Super Bowl I and referred to in contemporaneous reports, including the game's radio broadcast, as the Super Bowl) was an American football game played on January 15, 1967, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. [1]

Vince Lombardi, in his seventh year as head coach of the Green Bay Packers led his team to the AFL-NFL World Championship game (now known as the Superbowl) against the Kansas City Chiefs. In his pregame speech Lombardi used some of his famous quotes “Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”, but more importantly he talked about playing with all your heart. The game was going to be the first time the champions of the National Football League (NFL) would play the champions of the American Football League (AFL). The NFL had existed since 1920, but the AFL was the new league, formed in 1960. Everyone expected the NFL powerhouse Green Bay Packers, coached by Vince Lombardi to dominate the Kansas City Chiefs. For the first half of the game the Chiefs played a tough and competitive game, surprising everyone by only trailing at half-time 14-10. In the second half the real Green Bay Packers showed up and dominated the second half scoring 21 unanswered points. Green Bay won the game with a final score was 35-10. Bart Starr was named game MVP due to his passing and play calling (quarterbacks called their own plays back then).

Green Bay Packers

The Packers were an NFL dynasty, turning around what had been a losing team just eight years earlier. The team had posted an NFL-worst 1–10–1 record in 1958 before head coach Vince Lombardi was hired in January 1959. "Their offense was like a conga dance", one sportswriter quipped. "1, 2, 3 and kick." [2]
