The Packers returned to the championship game in 1965
following a two-year absence, when they defeated the Colts in a playoff
for the Western Conference title. That game would be remembered for Don Chandler's
controversial tying field goal in which the ball allegedly went wide
right, but the officials signaled "good." The 13–10 overtime win earned
the Packers a trip to the NFL Championship game, where Hornung and
Taylor ran through the defending champion Cleveland Browns, helping the Packers win, 23–12, to earn their third NFL Championship under Lombardi and ninth overall. Goalpost uprights would be made taller the next year.Monday, February 18, 2013
