...them was a fluke-a twice-deflected pass that Packer Flanker Max McGee somehow managed to catch one-handed, behind his back. The Chiefs outgained the Packers by 181 yds. to 164 yds., out-first-downed them by 11-9. Twice they tackled Green Bay Quarterback Bart Starr for losses when he faded back to pass. They scored a touchdown and a field goal of their own. And at half time they trooped off the field trailing by only four points...
...voices coming out of the West were ever so considerate as the champions of pro football's newly merged leagues prepared for their first meeting at next week's Super Bowl in Los Angeles. Quarterback Bart Starr of the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers sweetly insisted that "anybody with any football intelligence can see the Chiefs have a real fine team"-and Coach Hank Stram of the A.F.L.'s Kansas City Chiefs saluted the Packers as "the symbol of the best in pro football." My, how polite. But just wait...
...years. Nothing risky, no mistakes. Nothing risky, that is, except where the gamble could mean a payoff of $23,500 per man-like last week against the Dallas Cowboys for the N.F.L. championship and a trip to Los Angeles. Unable to run against a fierce Dallas defense, Quarterback Starr suddenly put wings on the ball. Three times in one touch down drive, confronted with third down and more than 12 yds. to go, he threw for crucial first downs; in all, he hit on 19 out of 28 attempts for 304 yds. and four TDs as the Packers outscored...
...after watching Kansas City annihilate Buffalo, 31-7, for the A.F.L. title last week. So they are, with one big difference: size. Kansas City's defensive line outweighs Green Bay's by nine lbs. per man; on offense, the gap is 15 lbs. The Chiefs own a Starr of their own in Quarterback Lenny Dawson, who completed 56% of his passes this season, and has played long enough in the N.F.L. (five years) to be able to read the Packers' defense. Thanks to Coach Stram, the Chiefs themselves are about as readable as Sanskrit. On offense, they...
...beat the Baltimore Colts three weeks ago to clinch the N.F.L.'s Western Division championship. Halfback Paul Hornung, 30, and painfully burdened by a pinched nerve in his neck, is still, by the consensus of his fellow pros, "the greatest money player in the game." And Quarterback Bart Starr, at 32, is the No. 1 passer in the N.F.L. (156 completions in 251 attempts, for 2,257 yds.); last week he was voted the most valuable player in the league...
