Ice Bowl - The 1967 NFL Championship Game slideshow - Packers 21 - Cowboys 17
Dec. 31, 1967 was the coldest game in NFL history, with the temperature at minus -15 degrees. Wind chill was minus -46. Electric coils under the field froze and wouldn't work. The field was a sheet of ice.
The Ice Bowl – the last time the Cowboys played a playoff game at Lambeau Field – is one of the touchstone games in NFL history. It had a little bit of everything: bad weather, a dynasty trying to hang on against an upstart, big plays, great players, two legendary coaches, a dramatic finish that had some great back stories and as it turns out, Vince Lombardi's last game coaching the Packers at Lambeau Field.
This week's Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers game has been called "Ice Bowl II" by some. We can only hope.
