It gets better (or worse, if you're the Chiefs), because they've also won 13 consecutive prime-time home games with Rodgers as the primary starter, and Rodgers has 14 touchdown passes and no picks in the last five.

"We had been looking at film and we found one film where two of their defensive backs and the two safeties had ran into each other and knocked each other down," Kramer recalled in a recent interview. "And Max McGee starts signing the Looney Tunes song, 'Da-dada-da-da-dada-da.' "So we're giggling about it and feeling pretty damn confident and really not too worried about the game."

"I was standing on the sideline with [teammate] Buck Buchanan right before the game, and we were talking about how the stadium wasn't even full," Bell said, aware of how ridiculous that sounds now, as the NFL prepares for the 50th Super Bowl in February. "I think tickets cost $12 or something like that. People wouldn't even pay $12 to see the game! My [four] tickets for the Super Bowl last year were $2,500."
