What happened? 

Know as the greatest game ever played, the 1967 NFL title game was a nailbiter. There was no playing for overtime, only to win.

Trailing 17-14 with 13 seconds remaining, the Packers pass up a game-tying field goal and win the NFL title with a Bart Starr touchdown sneak from the Cowboys' 1. The temperature is minus-13, with a minus-37 wind chill. It's the coldest pro football game ever played and forever will be known as "The Ice Bowl." Starr follows the blocks of Jerry Kramer and Ken Bowman for the winning score. The game gives the Packers an unprecedented third consecutive NFL championship and sends them to their second straight Super Bowl (In which they defeated the Raiders).

It also was the last game coached by Vince Lombardi at Lambeau Field.
