Considering how history would play out, the headline on the Milwaukee Journal's story - "Lombardi's Sweetest" - may appear absurd, but at the time the victory over the archrival Bears in Vince Lombardi's first victory as coach of the Packers was big indeed. The season before, Green Bay had finished 1-10-1 under Ray "Scooter" McLean. In 1959, the Packers went on to finish 7-5, and two years later they would win the first of their five NFL titles under Lombardi.
