The Green Bay Packers’ Bart Starr is the center of attention as he gets birthday kisses from a pair of women on Jan. 10, 1967, in Santa Barbara, California. The occasion was Starr’s 33rd birthday, which he celebrated in Santa Barbara, California, where the NFL champions have set up training camp for their Super Bowl game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Los Angeles.

In the final minute of the NFL Championship game, Green Bay's Dave Robinson sacked the Cowboys’ QB Don Meredith. Meredith’s wobbly pass was intercepted in the end zone by the Packers’ Tom Brown, ensuring a 34-27 victory over the Cowboys, and their second championship in a row.
