GREEN BAY – The Packers have appeared in five Super Bowls, and they're trying to qualify for their sixth on Sunday.
To see how they got the job done in the past, here's a recap of the five previous championship games that sent the Packers to the Super Bowl.
1966 NFL Championship (Jan. 1, 1967, at the Cotton Bowl, Dallas)
Packers 34, Cowboys 27
Bart Starr played one of the best games of his career, throwing four touchdown passes to four different teammates (Elijah Pitts, Carroll Dale, Boyd Dowler and Max McGee), and the Packers also got a fumble return for a score by rookie Jim Grabowski.
But the Packers still had to hold off the Cowboys at the end, as Dallas QB Don Meredith was pressured by Dave Robinson on a fourth-down pass to the end zone, and Tom Brown intercepted it to send Green Bay to the first Super Bowl.
1967 NFL Championship (Dec. 31, 1967, at Lambeau Field, Green Bay)
Packers 21, Cowboys 17
