Super Bowl 1: Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs | FULL GAME

[@felixmadison5736]

Man, does this bring back memories! I was a 17 year-old high school junior, and I've watched every Super Bowl except for 1969 and 1970. I missed those two because of my service with the U.S. Army in Vietnam. I'm 75 now, and I remember the hype for that first Super Bowl was off the charts! I was for the NFL all the way, and Coach Lombardi and the Packers came through in the first two!

Thank you for your service. I wondered how much hype there was, I was born in 1969 and had heard that the game was not sold out but it does seem like there would be a fair amount of hype since it was the first.

[@felixmadison5736]

@@dougfowler1368 Thank you. If I remember correctly, the game was sold out, and the cameras were constantly showing the 'rich and famous' who attended this first ever 'Super Bowl' game. The hype was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Every football fan in America could not wait to find out which football league was superior...the long time NFL, or the 'upstart' AFL which had been in existence since 1960. After the AFL won the third and fourth Super Bowls, the NFL decided it was time to talk merger. LOL!!

[@johncirillo9544]

@@felixmadison5736 the merger was a done deal before the first Super Bowl. The NFL-AFL Championship Game (Super Bowl) was part of the merger. The merger was announced on the evening of June 8, 1966. Under the merger agreement, the leagues maintained separate regular-season schedules for the next four seasons-from 1966 through 1969 with a final championship game which would become known as the Super Bowl-and then officially merged before the 1970 season to form one league with two conferences.

Man I'd love to hear some stories from the wise

[@2259r3z]

I was a seven year old kid then and don't remember paying any attention to this game at the time. I wasn't a Packers fan and didn't get interested in football in general until '68, but then I started reading every football related thing I could get my hands on. At a thrift shop one day I begged my mom to buy me a used paperback copy of Jerry Kramer's "Instant Replay" just because it had a picture of a football player (Kramer) on the cover. I loved that book. In case you haven't read it, it follows the Packers through the entire '67 season from Kramer's point of view, from pre season conditioning through the season, culminating with Kramer's famous block on the goal line in the Ice Bowl, and the second NFL-AFL championship game. Because of that book, all of the Packer names in this game are very familiar to me. Something reminded me of that book a year or two ago, so I bought another copy and read it. I was curious if fifty-plus years later I would still enjoy it, and I did. I still think it's a good read.

[@vnvet2282]

I was 17 when I watched this game on our new color TV, one of the few in our neighborhood. Seeing these guys with their crew cuts running onto the field during introductions is reminiscent of Chicago White Sox players walking out of the corn in Field of Dreams. thanks for posting.

[@EdsterIII]

This is a epic game for me. I was born in 1967 so I obviously never was able to see these games. But trips to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame with my Grandparents every year during the mid to late 70's I was able to see highlights of this game, Super Bowl II, and earlier Championship games. But getting to see this, basically a full game is amazing and such a treat to see. I lived my entire life in Wisconsin. I've been to playoff games at Lambeau Field and nothing beats it! I was even able to see the Packers play at Milwaukee County 🏟Stadium🏟 before it was torn down. Epic memories. Thank you for this!

[@epaddon]

This is NOT the "full game" nor is it the original telecast. The CBS telecast, which along with the NBC telecast, was lost for decades but was found to have been recorded by a studio technician and preserved by his family for decades, but the NFL to their eternal discredit refused to come to terms with the estate and in effect blew off the value of the rediscovered telecast and instead shoved this bogus version down our throats with the same-old, same-old NFL Films material (which is all they ever care about). Yesterday I went to the first ever public screening of the telecast at the Paley Museum and THAT Is what the NFL should be making available for the public to see, not repackaged junk like this.

[@_thatscrazy]

They couldn't even share the full NBC-TV audio that they have. MLB and NBA would never. I cannot stand with the NFL.

[@oakchar]

It's not ALL repackaged junk in this KZbin presentation. The player introductions are from the video tape from the CBS telecast.

@epaddon did the CBS telecast have the pregame? How was it like? Did you see Paul Christman and Frank Gifford on the field reporting on the game and Gifford's interview with Lombardi (where Christman interrupted). Did Charlie Jones and Pat Summerall gave insight about both teams?

[@SoapBark]

When Boyd went down with that shoulder injury, Max McGee came in hungover from his night out the previous night. He was benched for violating the curfew. He told Boyd before the game started, "I hope you don't get hurt. I'm not in very good shape".

​@@rustyrelicsfarm2406Being a lifetime Packers fan I'd have to agree but I may be a bit biased. However his accomplishments are very evident and his success is on display. His Packers teams were the "Dynasty" of the 60's. Since his team won the first two 🏆Championship🏆 games, Vince Lombardi's name is well deserving to be on the trophy🏆.

[@randymillhouse791]

I was a bellhop at a Marriott Hotel in Bethesda, MD. the summer of 1986. Pat Summerall was in town for what must have been a pre-season game. I was sent to a penthouse suite to retrieve some bags.

Both networks broadcast this game (CBS and NBC)-Frank Gifford of CBS was interviewing Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi before the game-and noted that Mr. Lombardi was sweating profusely and visibly shaking from nervousness. Apparently, the NFL was putting a lot of pressure on Mr. Lombardi to not only win this game but to do so in a convincing fashion--despite the announcement of the merging of the AFL and NFL in 1970 there was still a lot of anger directed at the "upstart" AFL by the NFL

Refreshing to watch a game without all the showboating. Playing like professionals.

[@gregford2103]

I remember reading in a book about the AFL that a number of Kansas City players thought the Boston Patriots, who finished second in the AFL East, would actually have been a better match up with Green Bay, based on their personnel. I also believe Buffalo, whom the Chiefs beat handily in the AFL Championship, might have fared better as well, based on the Bills' playoff experience. Kansas City, like Oakland a year later, was supremely talented, but just young and inexperienced. Each entered their respective Super Bowls with a fragile confidence, and in each case it was a turnover that shattered that confidence. In Super Bowl I, it was Len Dawson's third-quarter interception, and in Super Bowl II it was Roger Bird's second-quarter fumble on a punt return that took the starch out of the Raiders.

[@TheSteveSteele]

That’s interesting because the Chiefs, Raiders and Jets were so much better than any team from the AFL East, although I think Boston had just won two AFL championships in ‘65 and ‘66, (I may be wrong).

[@gregford2103]

Actually, I believe it was Buffalo that won the previous two AFL titles, although Boston did play in one title game. The AFL West probably had more talent, but the Bills and Patriots had teams with more mature players. I also believe each had some who came over from the NFL, and were familiar with Green Bay. The Packers may have also overwhelmed Buffalo or Boston, who knows. It's pure speculation.

Interesting watching Bart Starr drop straight back- no one does that any more!

[@user-iy6rm6pm4j]

Well, Starr's entire offensive line was on the All-Pro team. To Starr's credit, not even his line could hold off L.A.'s 'Fearsome Foursome." Sacked 7 times in the 1967 Conference Championship game, Starr still led the Packers to a 28-7 victory. By contrast, the Fearsome Foursome ate Johnny Unitas for lunch to defeat the previously undefeated Colts in the last regular season game and put the Rams into the Conference Championship where they got stomped by the Packers.

[@2267victor]

I expected that the Chiefs and Raiders would have been more trouble for the Packers. I guess the Packers experience really showed itself in both Superbowls. The Chiefs 3-4 defense was awesome and they started the game pretty well. The Raiders vertical game offense was also very impressive. The Packers were just better at this time. Is there a video like this for Superbowl II?

[@gregfrank4115]

It took years to find a tape of SBI out there. New finds are being discovered all the time - just maybe SBII may yet be found. The radio broadcasts of both SBI(both CBS and NBC) and SBII(CBS) are available on KZbin.

[@fortynights1513]

Thus far there isn’t any remaining broadcast footage of the second Super Bowl. There’s NFL Films highlight reels, and radio broadcasts, but the broadcast footage might be lost to history. An unintentional side effect of NFL Films being around is that the networks in the 60’s and early to mid 70’s didn’t prioritize the preservation of their telecasts of NFL games because another source was filming highlights of the games. We don’t get a near complete archive of broadcast footage of NFL games until 1978 or so, but fortunately, Super Bowl 5 or 6 is the last one where we might be missing some footage, and everything after that has been preserved in full.

Great to see this game again after so many years. The Packers were my team and they were in the middle of a three-peat, something that ironically the Chiefs will attempt to do next year. The Pack will always be my favorite team, but after these first two Super Bowls I developed an affininity for the AFL and their history. I will always back the original ten AFL teams in any contest featuring any team other than Green Bay. I wish the AFC would have stayed with the original ten teams and not integrated the Steelers, Colts, and Browns into the conference in order that each would have 13 teams. Then, the next six teams added to the NFL could have gone to the AFC, until the two conferences were even in number of teams. The original ten AFL teams have held their own in Super Bowls, especially if you consider the ten spots taken up by the Steelers and Colts in representing the AFC in 5he Super Bowl.

Same reason NASA taped over their Apollo 11 telemetry tapes. It was common practice back then to reuse tape because it was expensive to buy and expensive to store and archive. I have first hand experience with this. I worked at a recording studio in Los Angeles in the ‘80s. They had a huge room full of used 2” master tape and they didn’t know what to do with it. I took it upon myself to clean up the room and organize the tapes, but it still didn’t solve the problem of what to do with all that tape. If they knew then what we know today, they would have carefully gone through each tape, archived the important tapes, and reused the tapes that weren’t important. Soon after, this kind of tape would be hard to come by and very expensive to buy. Plus the value of master recordings shot up dramatically. We had some old Bing Crosby original master tapes lying around back there and they were treated like leftover junk in the ‘80s. I bet those tapes were thrown in a dumpster after I left.

Fun fact: The winners of Super Bowl 1 received $15,000 for each player.

[@MidwestMountainMan]

$140k today... not much for modern NFL payouts, but a big deal at the time!

[@8avexp]

That was more than what a lot of people made in one year back then. My father didn't make that much in one year.

[@airforceveteran71]

I think half of these tackles and bump-and runs would be flagged today...don't even get me started on touching a QB today...years back got Max McGee to autograph a Sports Illustrated SB cover for me...still have it in my collection...Max passed away in 2007.

[@dustylover100]

Fred "Hammer" Williamson talked so much before the game but got shut up - knocked out of the game - by Donny Anderson.

[@golfprocrastinator9519]

Game footage need to be played at 1.25 correct? Otherwise everything is in slowmo.

[@rmartin7558]

1.5

[@LesterMoore]

Hey! What really happened to "The Hammer" in his last play? Didn’t look like he was blocked. Regardless, he probably liked what he saw out West. Became a big action film star.

[@illusive1181]

They really took the defensive players for granted back then. Didn't even bother to announce their positions and names 😂

[@WW3_Soon]

The AFL signed a lucrative $38 M TV deal.

[@Nopulu]

That scoreboard was an excellent thing to edit in

[@romelovesdan]

This is the NFL Network attempt to remedy the league's refusal to pay a family that has video of the original telecast. Their first attempt was a RIDICULOUS broadcast with a studio panel of players and an ex-coach commenting on this edited game re-creation. It totally ruined the nostalgic vibe and flow of the game action. After many angry complaints, they aired this version without the studio ensemble. With the exception of the opening player introductions, it is not even that 'exclusive". Another fan re-created a longer version of this game years before using alot of the same NFL Films footage. Someone out there needs to try and put the best possible version together using every feasible bit of film and the colorized kinescope of the team introductions. We all know a great candidate for the project, but the stupidity of the NFL squashed and censored the platform for his creativity.

[@lizardoutlaw9512]

For years I've been trying to get a definitive answer for the mystery of Super Bowl I, and audio of the game exists and is on KZbin. The problem is that it is in poor quality due to crappy transfer and then NFL came out of this. A condensed game of Super Bowl I. I agree we need to make a definitive version with high quality clips, the entire 2 hour audiotape and make a real full game. The NFL has to make that deal with that family and needs to do something about it! It is history!

[@lizardoutlaw9512]

And yes, the loss of this creator still haunts me today

[@romelovesdan]

@@lizardoutlaw9512 Have you seen the original fan edit? I think it runs about 2:42:00. Alot longer than this 58:51 min version.

[@lizardoutlaw9512]

Yes. It has the NFL Films clips and the whole game in audio.

[@dannysunay4386]

I bet everyone thought this was not going to last. When I lived in california, my neighbor's dad had photos, pamphlets and advertisements about the championship game. He also had his two tickets! Amazing!😂❤

[@zethmox]

"We'll be back" Yes, Kansas City you will :)

[@that_dave_show]

Even though this is a pieced together game from NFL Films and the audible is from a local radio station, It's still an entertaining game and does bring back memories of those that had watched it.

[@johncirillo9544]

The audio is from NBC radio. That’s not local radio but rather National radio with Jim Simpson doing play-by-play and George Ratterman adding color-commentary.

[@that_dave_show]

@@johncirillo9544 Still, worth watching and reminiscing over a historical event.

[@coreylevine8095]

​@@johncirillo9544I heard the original NBC Television Audio of the game exist with Curt Gowdy and Paul Christman calling the game

[@0159ralph]

The golden age of the NFL. An older saying from older football players Your a gentleman off the field, but an animal once you step on that field for the game ...

[@brendtoconnell6119]

Go Chefs...I mean Chiefs! Have the Chefs on standby.

[@rover7784]

My dad, grandpa and uncle went to this game. Pretty cool.

[@DavidJanish]

I remember some of this!!

[@christopherking4932]

Awesome video.

[@k.p.5736]

I turned year old on first SB but I’d rather watch what coach Lombardi is saying doing on sidelines than the game itself

[@adamschroeder4259]

Awesome

[@markhildebrand2417]

Although I was a Kansas City fan back then I was ashamed of the way Buck Buchanan played. It was obvious that he had nothing but contempt for the Packers as he was getting in late hits and shoving players around after the whistle had blown. Otherwise it was a good game.

[@xman777b]

and then there's The Hammer. That said, nothing but respect for your AFL Chiefs. Very formidable glory years, and a great great Coach Stram. Love him. Great team.

[@markhildebrand2417]

The Hammer got exactly what he deserved. I'm not sure who actually put that team together but it had a huge amount of talent on both defense and offense. Numerous HOF players.

[@TheSteveSteele]

I was a Raiders fan back then, although the rest of my family were Chiefs fans. They came from Kansas City. Because the Raiders played a bit dirty, I actually enjoyed Buck Buchanan’s aggressive play. I guess you’d expect that from a Raider fan. 😁 I may be the only person in the world who’s both a Raider and a Chiefs fan. I like these Chiefs uniforms much better than the current Chiefs unis.

[@tajthomas6711]

I wish they still ran out lik this now

[@Captainkebbles1392]

Footage of the GOAT winning a SB is always good

[@michaelleroy9281]

Which GOAT from the Packers? they had a whole team of them

[@user-iy6rm6pm4j]

They actually did not call this game the "Super Bowl." It was called the "World Championship Game."

[@espiritucallejero9127]

21:18 why does the announcer say Super Bowl then?

[@espiritucallejero9127]

Few seconds later guy has a hat to at says Super Bowl

[@coreylevine8095]

Larmar Hunt were the first person to call it the Super Bowl back in June 6 1966 the media pick it up but the NFL keep calling it the AFL/NFL Championship game until Super Bowl III

[@2259r3z]

Wrong. They actually did, starting from the beginning of planning for the game in mid '66. By the time this game was played it was commonly referred to as the Super Bowl. This audio is the actual national radio broadcast from the game that day. Besides this broadcast, there is plenty of discussion about this online and proof that this game was commonly called the Super Bowl in the media at the time, including in the NY Times and LA newspaper write-ups at the time. This thread won't allow links to be posted, so you'll have to search it yourself and read the articles about it. It was so commonly called the Super Bowl from the start that the NFL eventually gave up and made the name official beginning with the 1970 SB.

[@kqr573v2]

Someone should have let the marching band at halftime know it wasn't called the Super Bowl, because they spelled out "Super Bowl" @ about 31:00 😆
