With the proliferation of gambling in sports I'm guessing that most want to see games played in the most ideal conditions possible; no wind, no rain, no mud, no cold. Makes it harder to know how to bet if there are such uncontrollable variables potentially affecting the outcome. In fact, weather is a reason to NOT place a bet on a game. And no one wants to suppress gambling these days; there's too much money to be made by everyone involved.
I worked at Cleveland Municipal Stadium in 64, and was able to see some of the game when the Browns beat the Colts for their last NFL championship. Got my draft call up in 6/65, but decided to enlist in the Corps, and missed this game. Still waiting for Cleveland to figure things out.

@@drinkingpoolwater My Grandfather said tickets for the Browns were 6 bucks for good seats and 3 bucks for bleacher seats in the 60s. My grandfather had 2 season tickets in the bleachers and he paid 42 dollars, back then you could pass on buying the exhibition game, back then the Browns usually only played one exhibition game at home, a doubleheader that also featured the first game between 2 different teams, then the Browns would usually play the Packers in the nightcap.
No way these modern DIVAS would play in those conditions. Well, maybe still in Green Bay. Can you imagine OBJ getting all dirty like this?? He'd be posting on social media at halftime he's done for the day!!!! LOL!!
Fans will still see games like this. While the odds for a game with weather conditions like this, have been greatly reduced because of domed stadiums and artificial turf, they certainly haven't been eliminated. However, there is one thing that fans will never see again, and that's twin goalposts plunked down in the end zone, just a few feet from the goal line.
No ridiculous celebrations after routine plays. Men acting like men. No histrionics or in your face bullshit. Collins makes a great catch for Browns first TD and he calmly flips ball to ref.
I like how the old NFL used play their games outdoors in bad weather. They played on real grass and got dirty. Jim Brown was great! What a great time to be an American.
There are still real grass fields. And the mid-1960's wasn't a great time to be an American for certain groups in the USA; the modern day is a much better time for a whole lot of people.
@@TheMrSuge how can you say today is a better time? People are killing each other and the world is divided. As for football it was better back then also. Players played for the love of the game. And BTW tickets were very much more affordable. I remember here in Cleveland back then tickets for football and baseball were 5 dollars apiece for the good seats. I remember watching this game at home on TV. A very disappointed 10 year old kid. The Browns were relevant back then. Times are coming back to Cleveland...Go Browns

Well the NFL has been around for over 100 years! The Packers were winning titles back int he 1930;'s and have 13 NFL titles overall!!! Vince Lombardi apparently saved them back starting in 1959 though!! The original titletown USA!
This is my grandson's account I worked at Cleveland municipal stadium for four years in the 60s and I got to watch both teams enter the stadium and watch most of the game it was a blast
The Packers took advantage of the Lombardi power sweep on their way to this championship. Great footage with awesome narration, background music and the slow motion replays! I never get tired of watching classic football games.
I wasn't expecting the slow motion replay - I stopped the video as soon as I saw the legendary "Green Bay Sweep" take shape & replayed it stopping and starting so I could see the blocking - then they showed the replay, d'oh!
@Cervo532 curious to know how baseball has changed so much in the last 30 years..? I havent followed it since the 90s? I know they ruined the plays at the plate, but what else?

@@tomsalva7200 Or deflating balls in the locker room, paying refs to control point spreads, paying teams (falcons) to throw Super Bowls...but you keep obsessing on a brave man exercising his 1st amendment right to protest racial discrimination.
The 60s were great but I would put the 70s at the top. Those Packers teams playing the Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins, Vikings and Steelers of the 70s, would not have won as many championships. However, one of the greatest dynasties anyone had the privilege to watch, without question. When the NFL Films rated its all time greatest teams, the 1970s had more in the top 10 than any other decade.
Willie Davis and Ray Nitschke were absolute studs when they played. Davis' standing Jim Brown up after he broke through the line was no fluke. He was the Reggie White of his day The Green Bay Packers weren't the team of the '60s by going through the motions. They kicked ass on defense.
They were talking hotdogs and smiling cigarettes on the sidelines. Today's players are playing against 300 pound men who can run a 4.5 40. Those old players couldn't compete nowadays. Jim Brown would be an "okay" RB in today's NFL.
Modern athletes are able to do all of that because of modern training techniques. Plug in the greats from back than with modern training techniques there most likely wouldn't be a huge gap. That's the only difference. We know more about muscle building and training than before. @@Monkeyshine911
NFL players today could not handle the playing conditions of the past Because they have played a very clean safe game very well protected from the elements of the weather. Jim Brown played in rain, mud, snow, extreme cold, extreme heat and real grass & dirt every Sunday. Jim Brown is the greatest NFL football player ever.
@@jj-nh8lz u said they we would never see that again it's not true because most athletes are investing their money in other business ventures and some pro athletes do get degrees and have multi million dollar businesses and I'm sure they have to learn some type of economics so you're point is wrong
I don’t think Jim Brown knew it either. He had been saying all along that he wanted to play 10 years. He also was under contract for the 1966-67 NFL season. He had intended to report to Browns 1966 training camp after filming in England for “The Dirty Dozen” ended during the summer. Unfortunately then, the weather caused production delays for the film, Browns owner Art Model then got mad at Brown and fined him daily for not reporting to camp, and Brown reacted negatively to Model’s demands and ultimatum to get his ass to camp. Brown then said: “That’s it. I quit. Nobody gives Jim Brown an ultimatum, and nobody tells Jim Brown what to do.” Both Brown and Model were stubborn men who refused to compromise. In retrospect, I wish they both could have worked it out, and Brown could have played at least one more year. 10 years sounds a lot better than 9 years.
@@johnshannon6481 I've often thought so too, but not after watching these highlights. Jim Taylor clearly was the more effective runner here, and Brown's dropped TD pass in his last game doesn't add to his legacy.
Bart Star - 10/18 147 yds 1 td 1 int , Frank Ryan 8/18 115 1 td 2 int, Jim Brown 12 carries 50 yds, Paul Hornung 18 carries 105 yds, Jim Taylor 27 carries 96 yds. The running game was the difference.
Me too. I watched the game in black and white with my dad, even though it was televised in color by CBS for the first time. We didn’t get a color tv until October 1966. I also remember Ray Scott called the 1st half, and Ken Coleman called the 2nd half. Frank Gifford did the color commentary, and Jack Whitaker added insight and analysis at halftime. I also recall the marching band during halftime as well. In those days, the marching band was still a huge part of the network’s halftime show for the NFL. Oh to be young again! I still had more tomorrows than yesterdays. Not anymore.
I watched that game on it's original broadcast with my Dad and Brothers on a 1957 Admiral Black & White T.V. with a 27 inch picture tube for a screen. There was one play I would have dearly liked to have seen in the highlights. On this green bay play from scrimmage it was a fake up the middle run and the whole Browns team piled up at the line. The up the gut run fooled almost everybody. and at the end of the play there were only 4 players standing. Three of them were packers and one of them had the ball. The Mud Bowl....
I am 62 years old. I remember Ray Scott being a football TV announcer as a child. He was tremendous. Great football voice, and terrific commentator. " This...is Dale...touchdown." Only Summerall and Madden were better. The 1960s Packers are still my favorite team of all time. I was a bit too young to remember Taylor and Hornung, the bad asses that they were - I was the 1966+ Donny Anderson era.
I remember watching this on TV live when I was a kid. I grew up near Pittsburgh, and the Steelers were a freakin' joke/doormat/disgrace (pick your term) for most of the 60's, so I was also a huge Packers fan. This game is right up there with the Ice Bowl.
Watched this game. Remember being as depressed as a 10 year old could be with not only the Browns losing but Christmas break was ending. Good times were ahead though. In a couple of weeks Batman was fixing to debut on ABC on Thursday and Friday night.
I was at this game so believe it or not the weather was not that cold but the field turned into a sloppy mess which helped the Packers keep Jim Brown under wraps.
I agree with others here that this is the way pro football should be played. Great players scoring touchdowns and just flipping the ball to the ref. No dancing or acting like fools. We were entertained by men performing athletic abilities, not guys trying to make the game all about them. In a way I feel that the entertaining value of this great game has been taken away from us and replaced with individuals trying to have the spotlight on them. Sad.
Few teams could stay with the Packers long back then, besides Cleveland and the Colts. Their arch nemesis, the Giants, faded badly, but Dallas, in 1966, and the Rams in 1967, would be serious competitors.
I was 5 years old. I'm from a small town in SE Texas.My dad was a 💈 Barber. Although the shop was closed, I remember him taking me with him to the barbershop that Sunday so he could do some "maintenance". I vaguely recall a few other men showing up, some beer drinking going on and watching the game... It's the first NFL game I ever remember. I've been a Green Bay Packer fan ever since and Bart Starr became my childhood idol
I like Scott's Coke reference when they showed the woman was drinking one at 7:12 and he said, "Packers fans hope things go better." Remember, "Things go better with Coke!"? Well, that's what I got out of it...
Never seen this before. Wasn't even sure this game existed on film. Pretty cool. In those days not all NFL films were kept. (Even the original network broadcast of Superbowl I tapes were not kept).
Of the 37 pre-merger NFL championship games, only those in which the Browns played a Western Conference team other than the Colts (who did not make sense in the Western Conference, Baltimore is an East coast city), or those in which the Colts played the Giants (1958, 1959) can be rematched in a Super Bowl. The Browns played the Rams in 1950, 1951 and 1955, the Lions in 1952, 1953, 1954, and 1957, the Packers in 1965, and the Vikings in 1969. That's a total of 11 pre-merger NFL title games, featuring five different matchups, that can be staged in a Super Bowl.
I'm a Baltimore guy, and people don't even talk about how great Cleveland was & that Automatic Otto has got to be listed in the top 5 (maybe top 7) greatest QB's of all time. Green Bay never should have been in this game, to begin with.
The Colts franchise actually moved to Baltimore from Dallas, which is why the Colts always played in the Western Conference of the NFL. In the back half of the decade the Colts played in the Coastal Division, which consisted of Baltimore, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Atlanta; two west coast teams and two east coast teams. Now THAT was a geographically challenged group of teams !!!!
@TheMrSuge The Dallas Texans actually folded , the last NFL team to do so the new Colts were established in 1953 and bought all the holdings of the team players and all
I noticed that of school photos of my parents that pre-dates World War II. In their late teens, looking like in their early 30s by contemporary standards.
@@scottjtube And they also smoked cigars. My dad worked locker room security for a visiting NFL team in the 1960s as a one-off assignment to his police work, where it surprised him that for those guys being athletes, several of them were smoking cigars in the locker room.
Notice that all the people in the stands have heavy coats on and the players on the sidelines have heavy coats on, BUT at 11:02 the little cheerleaders have only mini skirts on.......so, who is toughest?
At least at the end of the game the Browns had lived up to their name in regard of their uniform color. Fortunately the helmets were of different color. Otherwise the game would have ended as "Browns" against "Browns".
None of Nitschke's contemporaries could have made that pass defense play like he did vs Jim Brown. That is what makes him so great! Ray could also stop the run too, just like he did in Super Bowl II vs Oakland's Hewritt Dixon on the Raider's first play from scrimmage!
Packers didn't even belong in the game, it should have been a Colts v. Browns rematch. Gene Tunney & the NFL totally screwed the Colts in the playoff game.
@@michaelwoolsey3886 You are 100% correct my man. Chandler shanked the field goal that was called “good” at the end of the game. You can see by Chandler’s reaction that he knew he missed it. He turned his head in anger and disgust. When he got back to the huddle, he apologized to Coach Lombardi, who then told him to “shut up.” True story.
I thought the Collins “drop” was pass interference. Jeter and Brown appeared to me to be climbing up Collins back before the ball touched Collins. Browns just didn’t get the call at Green Bay. If they had, the complexion of the game is totally different. Browns would have lead at halftime 16-13. Warfield’s “drop” was more of an overthrown pass than a “drop.” It looked to me like Warfield missed by a thumbnail from catching this pass. And Brown? It looked to me that he just let the football go through his hands. I don’t credit Nitschke with knocking the ball away. Brown just dropped it, plain and simple. A player of Brown’s caliber is expected to make a catch like that. If he had, it would have completely changed the trajectory of this game. But yes, Brown’s mistake was a “drop” more so than a great play by Ray Nitschke. If any 1 of those 3 plays goes in Browns favor, Cleveland quite possibly wins this game.
@@chucklynch6523 I don’t think Nitschke knocked the ball away from Brown. Jimmy just dropped the damn ball, plain and simple. A player of Brown’s caliber SHOULD make that catch. If he had, it would have possibly changed the ultimate outcome of this game.

I also remember Ray Scott called the 1st half, and Ken Coleman called the 2nd half. Frank Gifford did the color commentary, and Jack Whitaker added insight and analysis at halftime. I also recall the marching band during halftime as well. In those days, the marching band was still a huge part of the network’s halftime show for the NFL. Oh to be young again! I still had more tomorrows than yesterdays. Not anymore.
I watched that game on it's original broadcast with my Dad and Brothers on a 1957 Admiral Black & White T.V. with a 27 inch picture tube for a screen. There was one play I would have dearly liked to have seen in the highlights. On this green bay play from scrimmage it was a fake up the middle run and the whole Browns team piled up at the line. The up the gut run fooled almost everybody. and at the end of the play there were only 4 players standing. Three of them were packers and one of them had the ball. The Mud Bowl....
I am 62 years old. I remember Ray Scott being a football TV announcer as a child. He was tremendous. Great football voice, and terrific commentator. " This...is Dale...touchdown." Only Summerall and Madden were better. The 1960s Packers are still my favorite team of all time. I was a bit too young to remember Taylor and Hornung, the bad asses that they were - I was the 1966+ Donny Anderson era.
I'm 67 and agree with you!
Very cool. Anyone notice one of the coaches,Nick Skorich, puffing a cigarette on the sidelines at 21:55? The horse collar tackles?
Old school!
Best QB may well be Otto Graham. He was fantastic at every aspect of the position and won a myriad of titles.
graham certainly was great. my vote tho would have to go to the iconic bill bullwinkle of the 1932 Bears
Best QB IS Tom Brady who won 7 Championships !!!! Best running back is Jim Brown, the only non quarterback to win 3 MVP awards !!!!!!!!
Back when Football was Football. Love the mud.
I remember watching this on TV live when I was a kid. I grew up near Pittsburgh, and the Steelers were a freakin' joke/doormat/disgrace (pick your term) for most of the 60's, so I was also a huge Packers fan. This game is right up there with the Ice Bowl.
stadium holds maybe 10 thousand? awesome. players make $10,000 a year. THIS was football.
This game broke my heart I cried
THAT'S WHEN FOOTBALL WAS FOOTBALL 🏉 NOT LIKE TODAY!!!!!!!!
@I'm On Your Roof John Madden said many-a-times that this is the way football should be played.
Amen brother.
They celebrate every tackle like they just won a championship. They celebrate every t d with a dance it's ridiculous. The look at me generation
It’s still football
@@DaveLaMont1 THANKS FOR SHARING
Watched this game. Remember being as depressed as a 10 year old could be with not only the Browns losing but Christmas break was ending. Good times were ahead though. In a couple of weeks Batman was fixing to debut on ABC on Thursday and Friday night.
Amazing, by the end of the game, the Cleveland Browns actually turned brown.
I was there and remember this game very well. The field was a mess.
So JIM BROWN played in back to back NFL CHAMPIONSHIPS with the Cleveland Browns. '64/'65.
He also played in the '57 Championship Game vs. the Detroit Lions. And scored a touchdown.
@@TheMrSuge1957 was his rookie year
Brings back great memories for me
I wish they'd do some remastering of these old football games like they redid that Beatles documentary. I bet this would look great in HD.
I was at this game so believe it or not the weather was not that cold but the field turned into a sloppy mess which helped the Packers keep Jim Brown under wraps.
This was when pro football was really good. Today, it is more like professional wrestling.
I agree with others here that this is the way pro football should be played. Great players scoring touchdowns and just flipping the ball to the ref. No dancing or acting like fools. We were entertained by men performing athletic abilities, not guys trying to make the game all about them. In a way I feel that the entertaining value of this great game has been taken away from us and replaced with individuals trying to have the spotlight on them. Sad.
The first championship game filmed by NFL Films (which was originally Blair Motion Pictures formed by Ed Sabol)
Nope. The 1962 Green Bay @ NY Giants was the first for them.
Few teams could stay with the Packers long back then, besides Cleveland and the Colts. Their arch nemesis, the Giants, faded badly, but Dallas, in 1966, and the Rams in 1967, would be serious competitors.
Sweat, Blood & Mud… But with Victory in their faces…
Fantastic, thanks for uploading!
Herb Adderly🎉🎉🎉 nitshke had a hell of a play there on the bomb to Jim Brown ….watching Packers playing defense well is a rare treat
I was 5 years old. I'm from a small town in SE Texas.My dad was a 💈 Barber. Although the shop was closed, I remember him taking me with him to the barbershop that Sunday so he could do some "maintenance". I vaguely recall a few other men showing up, some beer drinking going on and watching the game... It's the first NFL game I ever remember. I've been a Green Bay Packer fan ever since and Bart Starr became my childhood idol
What a great story! I love it
There was probably 5 concussions that day. 😂
no one calls a game better than ray scott. so simple and no bullshitttttt
No doubt!!!!
@@earlshannon1048 thanks for agreeing with me Earl. You must be an older gentleman. I am 85
I like Scott's Coke reference when they showed the woman was drinking one at 7:12 and he said, "Packers fans hope things go better." Remember, "Things go better with Coke!"? Well, that's what I got out of it...
Never seen this before. Wasn't even sure this game existed on film. Pretty cool. In those days not all NFL films were kept. (Even the original network broadcast of Superbowl I tapes were not kept).
Legendary battle in the snow and sleet..
If you think that day was awful weather, return two years later for the title game - the 14 below 0 Ice Bowl.
Of the 37 pre-merger NFL championship games, only those in which the Browns played a Western Conference team other than the Colts (who did not make sense in the Western Conference, Baltimore is an East coast city), or those in which the Colts played the Giants (1958, 1959) can be rematched in a Super Bowl.
The Browns played the Rams in 1950, 1951 and 1955, the Lions in 1952, 1953, 1954, and 1957, the Packers in 1965, and the Vikings in 1969.
That's a total of 11 pre-merger NFL title games, featuring five different matchups, that can be staged in a Super Bowl.
I'm a Baltimore guy, and people don't even talk about how great Cleveland was & that Automatic Otto has got to be listed in the top 5 (maybe top 7) greatest QB's of all time. Green Bay never should have been in this game, to begin with.
The Colts franchise actually moved to Baltimore from Dallas, which is why the Colts always played in the Western Conference of the NFL.
In the back half of the decade the Colts played in the Coastal Division, which consisted of Baltimore, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Atlanta; two west coast teams and two east coast teams. Now THAT was a geographically challenged group of teams !!!!
@TheMrSuge The Dallas Texans actually folded , the last NFL team to do so the new Colts were established in 1953 and bought all the holdings of the team players and all
@@michaelleroy9281 That's only the official NFL stance. There are plenty of people who say the Texans became the Colts.
The memories. I was 11.
I was there. Paid $5 at Ivan’s Zig Zag tavern in De Pere, Wisconsin.
1 o’clock game is when the Super Bowl should start
EXCELLENT
Man you rarely see a game these days where team’s uniforms are muddy and dirty.
I like the "super" slow motion. lol
It's crazy how 20-35 year olds back in the day looked like 40-60 yr olds today
I noticed that of school photos of my parents that pre-dates World War II. In their late teens, looking like in their early 30s by contemporary standards.
They drank a lot and smoked cigarettes lol
@@scottjtube And they also smoked cigars.
My dad worked locker room security for a visiting NFL team in the 1960s as a one-off assignment to his police work, where it surprised him that for those guys being athletes, several of them were smoking cigars in the locker room.
I remember watching this game when I was 10 years old ...Green Bay went on to win three in a row
Yep, I was 9. Remember it too.
Notice that all the people in the stands have heavy coats on and the players on the sidelines have heavy coats on, BUT at 11:02 the little cheerleaders have only mini skirts on.......so, who is toughest?
Good thing there was not another playoff game the next week in those days. That field probably took weeks to re-sod!
I loved seeing this! It shows part of the evolution of neutral sites in championship games. I didn't know that roughing the kicker was penalty then.
In David Maraniss’ biography of Lombardi he mentions the Packer sweep at 17:24.
At least at the end of the game the Browns had lived up to their name in regard of their uniform color. Fortunately the helmets were of different color. Otherwise the game would have ended as "Browns" against "Browns".
The Browns for Life! 🏈
This was the last season WITHOUT the Super Bowl
January, 1966? If so, ok.
Yes! And #1 would be these same Green Bay Packers against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Enjoy seeing the “old” style goalposts!
When real men played football
trumpet guy is a legend
This is football!
Three missed touchdown's sealed Cleveland's fate: 8:10-Warfield's drop, 13:33-Collin's drop, and Jim Brown's ball being knocked away by Nitschke-19:17
None of Nitschke's contemporaries could have made that pass defense play like he did vs Jim Brown.
That is what makes him so great!
Ray could also stop the run too, just like he did in Super Bowl II vs Oakland's Hewritt Dixon on the Raider's first play from scrimmage!
Packers didn't even belong in the game, it should have been a Colts v. Browns rematch. Gene Tunney & the NFL totally screwed the Colts in the playoff game.
@@michaelwoolsey3886 You are 100% correct my man. Chandler shanked the field goal that was called “good” at the end of the game. You can see by Chandler’s reaction that he knew he missed it. He turned his head in anger and disgust. When he got back to the huddle, he apologized to Coach Lombardi, who then told him to “shut up.” True story.
I thought the Collins “drop” was pass interference. Jeter and Brown appeared to me to be climbing up Collins back before the ball touched Collins. Browns just didn’t get the call at Green Bay. If they had, the complexion of the game is totally different. Browns would have lead at halftime 16-13. Warfield’s “drop” was more of an overthrown pass than a “drop.” It looked to me like Warfield missed by a thumbnail from catching this pass. And Brown? It looked to me that he just let the football go through his hands. I don’t credit Nitschke with knocking the ball away. Brown just dropped it, plain and simple. A player of Brown’s caliber is expected to make a catch like that. If he had, it would have completely changed the trajectory of this game. But yes, Brown’s mistake was a “drop” more so than a great play by Ray Nitschke. If any 1 of those 3 plays goes in Browns favor, Cleveland quite possibly wins this game.
@@chucklynch6523 I don’t think Nitschke knocked the ball away from Brown. Jimmy just dropped the damn ball, plain and simple. A player of Brown’s caliber SHOULD make that catch. If he had, it would have possibly changed the ultimate outcome of this game.
