When the Lions beat the Packers 26-14. I wasn’t that close. The Packers scored two meaningless late touchdowns.

Bart Starr was sacked 11 times. Fuzzy Thurston said it wasn’t all bad. The Packer line had learned how to do the “lookout” block. That’s where they’d block and then turn around and yell “Lookout, Bart.” Fuzzy was trying to block Roger Brown who had seven sacks in the game.
