The Green Bay Packers entered Super Bowl II as defending NFL champions, having survived the Ice Bowl against Dallas 21–17 and posted a 9–4–1 regular season record. The Oakland Raiders came in riding a dominant 13–1 season and a 40–7 AFL Championship blowout, yet widespread opinion held that NFL teams were superior to AFL competition.
Played on January 14, 1968, at the Orange Bowl in Miami, the Packers controlled the game throughout. Don Chandler kicked four field goals, cornerback Herb Adderley returned an interception 60 yards for a score, and Daryle Lamonica could only produce two touchdown passes for Oakland. The Packers won 33–14 in a performance that matched pre-game expectations of NFL dominance.
Bart Starr was named Super Bowl MVP for the second consecutive time, the first player to achieve back-to-back MVP honors. The Packers secured their third straight world championship, a feat unmatched in NFL history since. The AFL–NFL gap in public perception was reinforced, and this remained the last NFC back-to-back Super Bowl win until San Francisco accomplished it in 1989.
