caption_attribution_description: English: A football card from the 1986 Jeno's Pizza NFL football card stickers set of Green Bay Packers defensive linemen Willie Davis (left) and Henry Jordan (right) tackle Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson (middle) in Super Bowl I. The card is numbered #15 in the set. The back of the card reads: THE PACKERS MAKE HISTORY Green Bay all-pros Willie Davis (87) and Henry Jordan trap Kansas City quarterback Len Dawson, as the Packers uphold the honor of the NFL by beating the Chiefs 35-10 in Super Bowl I. In the first meeting ever of teams from the NFL and AFL, Green Bay outscored Kansas City 21-0 in the second half.
context_page_description: The 1966 NFL season was the 47th regular season of the National Football League, and the first season in which the Super Bowl was played, though it was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The league expanded to 15 teams with the addition of the Atlanta Falcons, making a bye necessary each week for one team.
  This was the last season that the NFL was divided only into two separate conferences, and only one postseason round was played between the two conference champions. The season concluded with the first Super Bowl; the NFL champion Green Bay Packers defeated the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs 35–10 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January 15, 1967.
  The punter/WR for the Detroit Lions set a record for consecutive games with more than 125 receiving yards with five, a record which was not tied until Calvin 'Megatron' Johnson several decades later. He also became the 3rd ever player to complete a 99-yard pass play.
