One of my all time favorite games. Pretty dang cold.

Green Bay vs. Dallas
NFL Championship
12/31/67 - Packers win 21-17

At Lambeau Field, Green Bay
With thermometer shuddering at 13 below zero and a wind chill of minus 46, Bart Starr scores winning touchdown from 1-yard line with 13 seconds remaining, sealing record third straight championship for Packers and their fifth in seven years.

Bart Starr scores the winning touchdown on a quarterback sneak from the 1 yard line with 13 seconds remaining
Starr's touchdown, on third down with no timeouts remaining, climaxed a 68-yard drive in 12 plays, which had begun with 4:50 on the clock, in front of 50,861 partisans at now-legendary "Ice Bowl" game.

As was the case in 1966, Packers grabbed early 14-0 advantage. But this time Cowboys came from behind to take the lead, forcing storybook finish by Green Bay to win contest later voted the greatest game in pro football history.

Starr's touchdown passes of eight and 43 yards to Boyd Dowler built the first-quarter bulge, trimmed in the second quarter by George Andrie's seven-yard scoring return of a Starr fumble and a 21-yard Danny Villanueva field goal which also was set up by a Green Bay fumble. Dan Reeves' 50-yard scoring strike to Lance Rentzel on the first play of the fourth quarter triggered the dramatic denouement.
