Lombardi also had other ways to help hinder any spy tactics of Halas. “And Coach would go, ‘There’s one of Halas’ spies! Somebody go down there and check out that guy!’ “We would be practicing and Coach would see a lineman on a power pole a couple of blocks away doing electrical work,” Kramer said. Lombardi was always thinking the Halas had some spies watching the Packers practice.
Kramer knew all about the rivalry with da Bears, as head coach Vince Lombardi always had his team up versus head coach George Halas and his Monsters of the Midway. The block (actually a number of blocks on one play) came against the Chicago Bears in the second game of the season at Lambeau Field. 64 and score the winning touchdown with 13 seconds left on a quarterback sneak from one yard out, as Green Bay prevailed 21-17.Įarlier in the 1967 season, Kramer had one of the five best blocks of his career, at least according to the former Idaho Vandal star. Kramer put a classic wedge block on defensive tackle Jethro Pugh, which allowed Bart Starr to shuffle right of No. The other one is maybe the most famous block in NFL history, as the Packers hosted the Dallas Cowboys in the 1967 NFL title game, better known as the “Ice Bowl” game. Halfback Paul Hornung utilized Kramer’s blocks perfectly as he scored his last championship touchdown on a 13-yard run, as the Packers ended up winning 23-12. The block occurred in the third quarter when Kramer swept left and first hit the middle linebacker with a block and then went outside to get a cornerback.
One was in the 1965 NFL title game in Green Bay, when the Packers hosted the defending NFL champion Cleveland Browns. The two most obvious ones occurred in the postseason. When it came to making some great blocks in his Pro Football Hall of Fame career, Jerry Kramer of the Green Bay Packers had many.
