Halftime show
The half-time break was designed by trumpeter Al Hirt .
tactics
The Kansas City Chiefs initially tried to be successful with the running game but were stopped by the Packers defense throughout the game as the mobile defenders were vastly superior to the Blockers. Most of the 72 yards run throughout the game were scrambled after the Packers defense put pressure on the Chiefs quarterback. Because of this, the Chiefs turned to the passing game . Especially in the second quarter Dawson convinced with a precise passing. The most successful tool was the Play Action Pass. After the Chiefs scored their first touchdown, Green Bay began to rearrange its defensive strategy and tried to put more pressure on Dawson. In doing so, they ignored the running defense. From the second half the Packers began to flash . In addition, the Packers' defensive backs disrupted the short passing game.
