Charlie Hall's interception on the final play saved the Packers' victory after Bert Jones, taking over from Marty Domres, led a late Colts' comeback that produced one TD and threatened to add another. MacArthur Lane scored both Green Bay TDs while the Packers picked off four Baltimore passes, one by Jim Hill leading to a score on the next play. The Colts' Lydell Mitchell ran for 63 yards and caught 5 passes for 47 yards. Chester Marcol's 52 yard field goal for the Packers in the first period was the longest of the season in the NFL.
