The1967 Green Bay Packers season was their 49th season overall and their 47th season in theNational Football League (NFL) and resulted in a 9–4–1 record and a victory inSuper Bowl II. The team beat theDallas Cowboys in theNFL Championship Game, a game commonly known as the "Ice Bowl," which marked the second time the Packers had won anNFL-recordthird consecutive NFL championship, having also done so in1931 under team founderCurly Lambeau. In the playoff era (since1933), it remains the only time a team has won three consecutive NFL titles.

The Packers were led by ninth-year head coachVince Lombardi and veteran quarterbackBart Starr, in his twelfth season. Green Bay's victory in Super Bowl II over theOakland Raiders was the fifth world championship for the Packers under Lombardi and the last game he coached for the Packers.

The 1967 Packers became the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive championship games, and the second team in NFL history to three-peat as champions, after the1929–1931 Packers. Through2024, no team has won three championships in a row since.

In the first round of the1967 NFL/AFL draft in March, the Packers selectedguardBob Hyland and quarterbackDon Horn.^[1]
This was the firstcommon draft with theAFL, following themerger agreement of the previous June.

With the expansionNew Orleans Saints entering the league in1967, the Packers had to leave 11 players unprotected for theexpansion draft. One of the players that Lombardi left unprotected was a futurehall of famer,halfbackPaul Hornung. Lombardi was distraught when the Saints selected Hornung in the draft.^[2] In later years, Hornung revealed that he spoke to Saints coachTom Fears prior to the draft. Fears was a former assistant in Green Bay and Fears felt that Hornung would help sell tickets in New Orleans.^[2] Several weeks later, the Saints also signedJim Taylor, the Packersfullback. Taylor, aLouisiana native and futurehall of famer, had felt underpaid and underappreciated under Lombardi.^[3] While Taylor did see action for the Saints, Hornung never did play a single down for New Orleans due to a neck injury he sustained the previous year and retired during the team's inaugural training camp.

The Packers finished the regular season 9–4–1. The1967 NFL season saw the addition of a sixteenth team and the two conferences of eight teams each were subdivided into two divisions. The Packers played in the Western Conference and in theCentral Division, with the Lions, Bears, and Vikings; each division foe was played twice, and each team in the Century Division and Coastal Division was played once (and no teams in the Capitol Division). Each of the four division winners advanced to theplayoffs.

The Packers clinched the Central division title atWrigley Field on November 26 at 8–2–1, with three games remaining, as the second-placeChicago Bears fell to 5–6.^[10][11][12] With the rotational system (in place until1975), they had home field advantage for the playoffs in 1967, with the first round (conference) scheduled at Milwaukee against the Coastal division champion.^[13][14]

Note: Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972.
