"Ice Bowl: Starr's sneak beats Cowboys A year after the Packers beat the Cowboys in the 1966 NFL Championship Game to play in Super Bowl I, the teams met again at a frozen Lambeau Field. Temperatures at kickoff were 13 below zero and the wind chill was minus 45, bringing about the game's nickname, The Ice Bowl. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Dan Reeves completed a 50-yard halfback option pass to Lance Rentzel for a touchdown that gave Dallas a 17-14 lead."

The rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys spans decades and began with the Ice Bowl. The Ice Bowl occurred at Lambeau Field with kickoff temperatures 13 below zero and wind chill minus 45. In that game the Packers reached the Cowboys' 1-yard line with 16 seconds remaining and Bart Starr convinced Vince Lombardi to call a quarterback sneak despite no timeouts and a frozen surface. The rivalry features numerous Hall of Fame coaches and players across eras and continues to add chapters, including Micah Parsons' return to AT&T Stadium following a blockbuster August trade.
