...week we came out with Fullback Jimmy Brown on the cover (Nov. 26, 1965). More than that, the Browns won the following two Sundays and captured the Eastern Conference title. Brown himself was named National Football League Player of the Year. When TIME put Coach Vince Lombardi on the cover (Dec. 21, 1962), his Green Bay Packers beat the Los Angeles Rams 20-17.

"I have a long memory for them," Lombardi admitted last week, as his Packers, champions of the National Football League, prepared to take on the College All-Stars at Chicago's Soldier Field.

...Taylor, Halfback Hornung. In all, Hornung carried 18 times for 105 yds.; Taylor, workhorse of the Green Bay backfield, picked up 96 yds. on 27 carries to earn the game's Most Valuable Player award. When the final gun sounded, it was Hornung and Taylor who hoisted Coach Lombardi to their shoulders, and paraded him off the field. The future might belong to Bonus Babies Grabowski and Anderson.
