Class of 1966!

The Buffalo Bills returned to the AFL Championship game for a third consecutive year, seeking their third consecutive AFL crown. As they did in '64, they were hosting the game. This time, however, the opponent would not be the San Diego Chargers, rather a potent and capable Kansas City Chiefs squad. The game was played at War Memorial Stadium, and the contest was absolutely dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs. The first quarter remained tight, ending in a 7-7 tie. Unfortunately for the Bills and their fans, the final three quarters saw the Chiefs outscore the Bills 24-0 for a 31-7 victory.

NFL Championship - Top Sports Scores of 1966

The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys presented a shoot-out to their fans in the NFL Championship Game. The game was played at the Cottonbowl in Dallas, TX, even though Green Bay had a better regular season record. Still, Green Bay prevailed, 34-27, and went on to meet the Kansas City Chiefs in the first ever Super Bowl.

Super Bowl I – AFL-NFL World Championship Game

Not officially referred to as Super Bowl, rather the inaugural AFL-NFL World Championship Game, the Green Bay Packers came into the contest as 14 point favorites over what was thought to be the representative from the inferior league, the Kansas City Chiefs. The game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, on January 15, 1967. The Chiefs hung tough for the first half, only trailing by four at halftime. Yet after making adjustments, the Packers, led by coach Vince Lombardi, and QB Bart Starr, hit the throttle and never looked back. They cruised to an easy win, 35-10.

NBA Championship - Top Sports Scores of 1966

It was the completion of the dynasty. The Boston Celtics hoped to win an 8th straight title, and if they were to pull it off, they would have to do it in dramatic fashion over their arch-rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. stormed out to a 1-0 series lead, before Boston came back to win the next three. Los Angeles responded with wins in games 5 and 6, setting the stage for an epic hard court battle. In the end, Boston prevailed, 95-93 to give them 8 in a row. A feat that will more than likely, never be repeated again.

NHL Stanley Cup Championship - Top Sports Scores of 1966

Much like the NBA, the NHL saw continued dominance on the ice. The 1966 Stanley Cup Finals matched the Detroit Red Wings vs. the Montreal Canadiens, both squads regulars in hockey's premier event. Detroit jumped on the Canadiens, taking a two-games to zero lead, before heading to their home ice. Montreal didn't hit the panic switch, and took the next two games, to go back home. They won in game 5 and game 6 to sweep the final four games, and win their 7th Stanley Cup in 11 years.

World Series Championship - Top Sports Scores of 1966

The 1966 World Series was played between the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers were looking for a repeat, and the Orioles were looking to send the defending champs into the off-season with a feeling of serious disappointment. The unrelated Robinsons, Brooks and Frank, led the Orioles to a convincing four-game sweep of the boys in blue, winning game 4 in Baltimore, 1-0, in a quick 1:45. Frank Robinson was named the World Series MVP. The Dodgers scored only 2 runs in the entire series, both in game 1.
