Jan. 1, 1967 @ the Cotton Bowl
Great game.
Starr
Starr is viewed by many today as a “game manager,” an extension of Lombardi on the field who handed off to Hall of Fame running backs, rarely made mistakes and was a poised leader.
Those things are true, but they do a disservice to him as a passer of the ball. Never was that more evident than in the 1966 NFL Championship Game. Against a great Landry-coached defense, he completed 19 of 28 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns, with no interceptions. His quarterback rating was 143.5.
