The 1965 NFL Championship Game featured the Green Bay Packers hosting the Cleveland Browns at Lambeau field. Both sides came into the game with a high-powered rushing attack; the Packers with the one-two punch of Taylor and Hornung vs. Cleveland and the great Jim Brown. A heavy snowstorm followed by rain turned Lambeau field into a mudbath. Lombardi’s defense held Brown to just 50 rushing yards in what would be his final game, while Hornung ran for 105 yards and Taylor 96. Protected by offensive captain Bob Skoronski, Jerry Kramer, and the rest of offensive line, the Packers’ ground game pounded the Browns with 47 rushing attempts that proved to be the difference in the game.
