Kansas City Chiefs 10
SHARE
The Green Bay Packers opened the Super Bowl series by defeating
Kansas City’s American Football League champions
35-10 behind the passing of Bart Starr, the receiving of
Max McGee, and a key interception by all-pro safety
Willie Wood.
Green Bay broke open the game with 3
second-half touchdowns, the first of which was set up by
Wood’s 50-yard return of an interception to the Chiefs’
5-yard line. McGee, filling in for ailing Boyd Dowler after
having caught only 4 passes all season, caught 7 from
Starr for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns. Elijah Pitts ran for
2 other scores.
The Chiefs’ 10 points came in the second
quarter, the only touchdown on a 7-yard pass from
Len Dawson to Curtis McClinton. Starr completed 16 of
23 passes for 250 yards and 2 touchdowns and was
chosen the most valuable player.
The Packers collected $15,000 per man and the Chiefs $7,500 — the largest single-
game shares in the history of team sports at the time.
SUPER BOWL I MVP : QB BART STARR, Green Bay Packers
In what was originally called the
"AFL-NFL World Championship," Starr propelled
the Packers to a 35-10 victory over the Chiefs.
Completing 16 of 23 attempts, Starr amassed 250
yards through the air to go along with three passing
touchdowns.
Starr hooked up with reserve
wide receiver Max McGee, whose one-armed first quarter
touchdown reception is one of the most
memorable plays in Super Bowl history, seven
times for 138 yards.
