The 1960 Green Bay Packers season was their 42nd season overall and their 40th season in the National Football League. The team finished with an 8–4 record under second-year head coach Vince Lombardi to win the Western Conference and a berth in the NFL championship game. It was the Packers' first appearance in the title game since winning it in 1944.[1] After a Thanksgiving Day loss at Detroit, the Packers won their final three games, all on the road, to win the crown.
The championship game was against the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia Eagles (10–2), played at Franklin Field in Philadelphia on Monday, December 26. Two years earlier in 1958, both teams had been last in their respective conferences, winning a combined three games.
In a close game, the Packers led in the fourth quarter, but lost 17–13.[2][3][4][5] Green Bay returned to the title game the next two seasons and won both.
