Super Bowl II

Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida

Date: January 14, 1968

Attendance: 75,536

MVP: Bart Starr, QB, Green Bay

    Green Bay after winning its third consecutive NFL championship, won the Super Bowl Title for the second straight year, defeating the AFL champion Raiders in a game that drew the first $3 million gate in football history.

    Bart Starr again was chosen the game's most valuable player as he completed 13 of 24 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown and directed a Packers' attack that was in control all the way after building a 16-7 halftime lead.

    Don Chandler kicked four field goals and all-pro cornerback Herb Adderley capped the scoring with a interception return for 60 yards that was good for a touchdown.  The game marked the last for Vince Lombardi as Packers coach, and ended the Raider season.

    It is unfortunate that this team did not win Super Bowl II.  Many consider this team the best to ever wear black and silver.  The team was 13-1 and Raider quarterback Daryl LaMonica threw for 3,228 yards and 30 touchdowns. Also, the 1967 Raiders had 13 All-Pros:

S Rodger Bird

PK George Blanda

CB Willie Brown

TE Billy Cannon

LB Dan Conners

DE Ben Davidson

RB Hewitt Dixon

G Wayne Harkins

QB Daryle Lamonica

CB Kent McCloughan

OT Harry Schuh
