Super Bowl I
Super Bowl I, the first in NFL history, took place on January 15, 1967, between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Packers ended up stealing the title, winning it 35-10. Rather than being called The Super Bowl, as it is today, it was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. Head Coach Vince Lombardi’s most unstoppable running play was donned the “power sweep”, a very simple yet effective play. This photo below shows Running back Jim Taylor leading the play, in this case, he ran 56 yards and scored a touchdown. At the moment, the Packers have 11 NFL Championships, 2 AFL-NFL Super Bowls, and two modern-day Super Bowls under their belt.

Namath’s Super Bowl
Joe Namath was an NFL quarterback, mostly known for his drunken public display of affection on a Live ESPN segment. However, he is also remembered for his bold statement prior to Super Bowl III. Back then, he was the Jets’ Quarterback and he told the media, “we’re going to win the game. I guarantee it.” Needless to say, in one of the biggest Super Bowl upsets ever, the Jets defeated the Indianapolis Colts. Joe was crowned MVP of the game. The Jets have yet to win a Super Bowl since.
