It's January 15th, 1967 at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California.

Willie Wood breaks from a huddle of teammates and jogs to his position on the field.

Willie is a defensive back for the American football team, the Green Bay Packers.

It's his job to stop his opponent's receivers from catching the ball,

and right now he's feeling the pressure.

Today, the Packers are playing the Kansas City Chiefs in football's first-ever

World Championship game, a new end-of-season face-off of two rival football leagues, the National

Football League and the American Football League.

Willie's Packers are expected to win by a wide margin, but right now they only have a narrow

lead over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs snapped the ball to begin their next play.

One of their receivers run straight past Willie.

Willie turns to follow, but out of the corner of his eye, he sees the Chief's quarterback

Len Dawson backpedal as his offensive line collapses.

Len passes the football before he gets tackled, but it's a bad throw.

And Willie intercepts the ball. Willie sprints down the field, but the

chiefs react quickly. Willie's speed keeps him clear for the first 10 yards, but then he runs into

trouble. A defender nearly takes him out from behind, what is blocked at the last moment. Willie

points urgently, directing his other teammates to block further. He cuts left,

narrowly avoiding one tackle, but is forced to reverse midfield as Kansas City shows determination.

Then Willie flicks straight up the middle, to the 15, to the 10, to the 5.

Willie Wood is denied his opportunity to score a touchdown by a tenacious Kansas City defender at the five-yard line.
