The Dallas Cowboys' victory yesterday sets up a divisional round playoff game at Lambeau Field next week. The last time Dallas played a postseason game in Green Bay was December 31, 1967 to determine the NFL Champion and also who would face the AFL representative in Super Bowl II.
Officially designated the "1967 NFL Championship Game", it lives on today as the Ice Bowl.
For many, the defining image of the Ice Bowl was taken by sixteen year old team photographer John Biever immediately after Bart Starr's quarterback sneak into the end zone to take the final lead.
I don't think I've ever seen this view, though, taken just seconds before, and in color:
One of the things I love about this upcoming game is that the two teams still wear the same uniforms today, save a few minor tweaks.
You can tell from this photo that the Braisher stripes on the Packers' pants were significantly thinner than, while the Cowboys were already wearing the thicker version the Packers sport today:
Looking forward to this game. Hope the spirit of Vince Lombardi can help guide our boys to another victory!
