  • APBA's GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS of the PAST
    APBA’s GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS OF THE PAST - Vol. 2 1. PHILADELPHIA 1949 The Eagles breezed to their third straight Eastern Division crown losing only once in twelve games, a 38-21 setback at the Bears October 16. Philly finished 4 1/2 games ahead of second place Pittsburgh. The Eagles' success still rested on the twin pillars of their outstanding 5-2-4 "Eagle Defense" and a ball-control offense built around All-Pro RB Steve Van Buren, who led the league in rushing attempts, yards, and rushing TDs. The other speedy HB, Bosh Pritchard, provided a wide threat. The pilot of the highest-scoring offense in the league, Tommy Thompson, has been somewhat overlooked for his contributions to the Eagles' success. The slick ballhandler was adept at faking a handout, hiding the ball on his hip, and flinging a pass downfield. 2. GREEN BAY 1966 This team won Super Bowl I. The Packers went 12-2 during the regular season beating the Dallas Cowboys in the “Ice Bow” on quarterback Bart Starr’s one-yard sneak for the game winning touchdown. Two weeks later, the Packers soundly beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I. This was Starr’s only MVP season. This was the second of Green Bay’s three consecutive NFL championship teams. Hall of Famers at every level on this team. Many of them All-Time Greats. 3. MIAMI 1972 The only team to have a perfect regular season record and win the Super Bowl. During the 1972 season, Bob Griese’s ankle was broken in Week 5 as he was sacked by San Diego Chargers defensive tackle Ron East and defensive end Deacon Jones.
