===Fourth quarter=== On the Raiders' first play of the fourth quarter, Lamonica completed a pass to running back [[Pete Banaszak]], but safety [[Tom Brown (safety)|Tom Brown]] forced a fumble on Banaszak, which was recovered and returned to the Raiders' 37-yard line by linebacker [[Dave Robinson (American football)|Dave Robinson]]. On the next play, however, Starr was knocked out of the game when he jammed the thumb on his throwing hand after getting sacked for an 11-yard loss by Davidson. Starr was replaced by [[Zeke Bratkowski]], who was then sacked on his only pass attempt. The Packers could not get back to the original line of scrimmage after the sack, forcing them to punt it back to the Raiders. However, the Packers cemented the game when cornerback [[Herb Adderley]] intercepted a pass intended for wide receiver [[Fred Biletnikoff]] and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown, making the score 33β7 in favor of Green Bay. Adderley laid back as Biletnikoff ran a curl route, then dashed in front of him to snare the ball and scored with the help of a crushing downfield block by defensive tackle [[Ron Kostelnik]]. Oakland did manage to score on their next drive after the turnover with a second 23-yard touchdown pass from Lamonica to Miller, set up by Banaszak's 41-yard reception on the previous play. But all the Raiders' second touchdown did was make the final score look remotely more respectable, 33β14. At the end of the game, coach Lombardi was carried off the field by his victorious Packers in one of the more memorable images of early Super Bowl history. It was in fact Lombardi's last game as Packer coach and his ninth consecutive playoff victory. Oakland's Bill Miller was the top receiver of the game with 5 receptions for 84 yards and 2 touchdowns. Green Bay fullback [[Ben Wilson (fullback)|Ben Wilson]] was the leading rusher of the game with 62 yards despite missing most of the fourth quarter while looking for a lost contact lens on the sidelines. [[Don Chandler]] ended his Packer career in style with 4 field goals. Lamonica, the game's leading passer, finished with 15 out of 34 pass completions for 208 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Bart Starr completed 13 of 24 (with a couple of dropped passes) for 202 yards and one touchdown; his passer rating for the game was 96.2 to Lamonica's 71.7. The Packers outgained the Raiders in rushing yardage 160 to 107, led in time of possession by 35:54 to 24:06, had no turnovers, and only one penalty. Packer guard Jerry Kramer later recalled the mental mistakes his team made in the game, which only highlights the impossibly high standards held by Lombardi's team.<ref>''The Ultimate Super Bowl Book,'' Bob McGinn. MVP Books, 2009, p. 21.</ref> As previously mentioned, this was Lombardi's last game as Green Bay head coach and this was also the final game for Green Bay Packer players [[Max McGee]], [[Fuzzy Thurston]], and [[Don Chandler]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Max McGee Career Game Log |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McGeMa00/gamelog/ |access-date=2024-06-15 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en |archive-date=June 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240615032101/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McGeMa00/gamelog/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Fuzzy Thurston Career Game Log |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/ThurFu20/gamelog/ |access-date=2024-06-15 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en |archive-date=June 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240615011515/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/ThurFu20/gamelog/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Don Chandler Career Game Log |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ChanDo20/gamelog/ |access-date=2024-06-15 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en |archive-date=June 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240615011544/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ChanDo20/gamelog/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
