1) 1965 Season – Super Bowl I (35-10 win over Kansas City Chiefs)

What would later be titled Super Bowl I, the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, would ultimately end in a blowout and prove that these Green Bay Packers were one of the best of the era and the NFL was the superior league at the time. The game featured a total of twenty future Hall of Famers (12 for Green Bay and 8 for Kansas City).

Entering the game as a 14-point favorite, many involved with football at the time believe the NFL would easily beat any AFL team playing in the first-ever Super Bowl. The NFL was older and had bigger names in the league. The Packers didn’t disappoint the football world, and this is Green Bay’s most one-sided title game performance to date. They capped off a dominating 12-2 regular season where their combined losses were by a mere four points.

Kansas City managed to keep the first half competitive, but the Packers pulled away in the second half to capture their fourth title of the decade in five tries. Max McGee would go on to unexpectedly lead the game in receptions (7), yards (138), and two touchdowns that included the first-ever in Super Bowl history, after only a handful of catches the whole year.

Bart Starr would go on to win the first Super Bowl MVP award to go along with his regular-season MVP, after throwing for 250 yards and two touchdowns in the most lopsided win in team Super Bowl history.
