Packers Hall of Famer Max McGee Helps Team Win First Super Bowl

Jan. 15, 1967 – “I was sitting on the bench, enjoying the shady side of the field for a while – we normally sit on the sun side when we play in the Coliseum – and I heard somebody yell, ‘McGee!’” That call, a summons for Packers receiver Max McGee, is answered in sublime fashion by the veteran end who catches seven passes for 138 yards in Green Bay’s 35-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the first Super Bowl. McGee opens the scoring with a 37-yard TD pass from quarterback Bart Starr and later adds a second TD on a 13-yard catch in the third quarter. Starr, who passes for 250 yards, is named the game’s most valuable player.
