As the quarter opened, Hornung tried a halfback option pass to Dale that missed at the Cleveland 25. Starr then slipped on the muddy turf as he retreated to pass, but regained his balance and threw a strike to wide open Boyd Dowler over the middle. Dowler was tackled at the Cleveland 38. Taylor ran for 3 yards, 6 yards, then dove for the first down. Frank Gifford remarked on the CBS telecast that Taylor was "running like a demon here today." After another 4 yard gain Taylor went to the sidelines for a breather. The Packer drive stalled at the Cleveland 22-yard line and Chandler kicked his third field goal from 29 yards out, bringing Lombardi and the Packers one step closer to their 3rd championship as a unit.
