Super Bowl I, also known as the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, was played on January 15, 1967. It was the culmination of a merger between the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL) and marked the first time the two leagues had come together to play each other in a championship game.

The Packers were heavily favored to win, having finished the regular season with a 12-2 record and boasting one of the NFL's strongest defenses.

Despite the odds against them, the Chiefs put up a strong fight and played well fore the first half, going back to the locker room with a 14-10 deficit. This was a supremely confident bunch, fueled by some bold comments from defensive back Fred Williamson and led by a brash, innovative coach in Hank Stram.

That confidence began to dissipate in the second half.

The Packers outscored the Chiefs 21-0 after halftime. Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr threw a pair of touchdowns to Max McGee, who had to play after Boyd Dowler injured his shoulder. and he was named the game's Most Valuable Player after throwing for 250 yards and those two scores.

Super Bowl I was a historic event in the annals of American football, marking the first time that the best teams from two competing leagues had come together to play for a championship. It was watched by an estimated 51 million people on television (televised by both NBC and CBS simultaneously) and was the first of many spectacles to come, each one seemingly bigger than the one before.

After the first two games were both won by the Packers, the piece of hardware the teams competed for was known as the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The game has also become a showcase for some of the best talent in the NFL, with players like Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, and Tom Brady all earning MVP honors for their performances in Super Bowls.

It's more than just a football game. It has become a cultural phenomenon, with pre-game festivities, celebrity appearances, and halftime shows drawing as much attention as the game itself. The Super Bowl has also become a major source of revenue for the NFL, with advertisers paying millions of dollars for commercial spots during the broadcast.

In conclusion, Super Bowl I was a landmark event in the history of American football. The game remains a source of pride for fans of the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs and will always be remembered as one of the greatest moments in the history of the sport.
