===First quarter=== After the teams traded punts on their first possessions, the Packers drove 80 yards in six plays. The drive was highlighted by quarterback [[Bart Starr]]'s passes to tight end [[Marv Fleming]] for 11 yards, to running back [[Elijah Pitts]] for 22 yards on a scramble, and to wide receiver [[Carroll Dale]] for 12 yards. The drive ended with Starr's 37-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver [[Max McGee]], who had replaced re-injured starter [[Boyd Dowler]] earlier in the drive, giving Green Bay an early 7β0 lead. (Dowler had injured his shoulder [[1966 NFL Championship Game|two weeks prior]] after scoring a third-quarter touchdown; Cowboys safety [[Mike Gaechter]] had upended him several steps after scoring and he landed awkwardly.) McGee slipped past Chiefs cornerback [[Willie Mitchell (football player)|Willie Mitchell]], made a one-handed catch at the 23-yard line, and then went the distance for the touchdown. (McGee had also caught a touchdown pass after replacing an injured Dowler in the NFL championship game). On their ensuing drive, Kansas City moved the ball to Green Bay's 33-yard line, during which quarterback [[Len Dawson]] completed an 18-yard pass to tight end [[Fred Arbanas]] and running back [[Mike Garrett]] rushed for 9 yards, but kicker [[Mike Mercer (American football)|Mike Mercer]] missed a 40-yard field goal attempt wide left. The Packers picked up 3 yards on the next play to end the first quarter.
