1967 NFL
The league expanded to 16 teams with the addition of the New Orleans Saints. The league's teams were realigned into four divisions: the Capitol (Dallas, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Washington) and Century (Cleveland, New York, Pittsburgh and St. Louis) Divisions in the Eastern Conference, and the Central (Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota) and Coastal (Atlanta, Baltimore, Los Angeles and San Francisco) Divisions in the Western Conference. The Saints and the New York Giants agreed to switch divisions in 1968 and return to the 1967 alignment in 1969. On the field, Dallas, Cleveland, and Green Bay were in control of their divisions from week ten on, and weren't seriously challenged for the division title. However, the Baltimore Colts had tied for the NFL's best record at 11–1–2, but were excluded from the four team playoff, because of the rules for breaking ties within a division. The L.A. Rams won
their division title over Baltimore as a result of the Rams' 34–10 win over Baltimore on the last game of the regular season and a 24–24 tie against Baltimore earlier. In competition against Baltimore, L.A. had a 1–0–1 edge, giving them the tiebreaker. Each of the other three division winners had only nine victories. This was the first season that the NFL used a four-team playoff tournament. The four division winners advanced to the postseason, with the two division winners in each conference meeting in the first round (effectively being conference championship games). The Championship Game was the famous Ice Bowl, played in Green Bay on December 31. In the first round of the playoffs, the Cowboys crushed the Browns 52-14, and the Packers took care of the Rams 28-7, setting up the NFL Championship Game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Because of the adverse
conditions in which the game was played, the rivalry between the two teams, and the game's dramatic climax, it has been immortalized as the Ice Bowl (though it was not a Super Bowl) and is considered one of the greatest games in NFL history. It was a tight contest throughout, and eventually the Packers would come out on top 21-17, to clinch the NFL Championship and the right to face the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II. The Second AFL-NFL World Championship Game in professional football, known retroactively as Super Bowl II, was played on January 14, 1968 at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. The NFL champion Green Bay Packers defeated the AFL champion Oakland Raiders by the score of 33–14. As expected, Green Bay dominated Oakland throughout most of Super Bowl II. The Raiders could
only score two touchdown passes from quarterback Daryle Lamonica. Meanwhile, Packers kicker Don Chandler made four field goals, including three in the first half, while defensive back Herb Adderley had a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown. Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr was named the MVP for the second time for his 13 of 24 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown.
