Super Bowl II was played on the 14th of January, 1968 at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. A sell out crowd of 75,546 enthusiasts attended the match on Super Sunday. Prior to the game, there were rumors that following the game, Packers coach and general manager Vince Lombardi would resign from the Green Bay organization. The rumors would prove prescient as the game would be Lombardi's last with the Packers. Green Bay players, however, were convinced that the forthcoming engagement with the Oakland Raiders would assume all the aspects of a farewell party for the coach who had won more than 75 percent of his games and five National Football League (NFL) championships in his last seven years in the league's smallest city. "About Thursday," three days before the big match, remembered quarterback Bart Starr, "Coach Lombardi came to our meeting dressed in a business suit, which was not at all characteristic of him. He was going to a reception and told us how much he had enjoyed coaching us and how proud he was of us. We all had lumps in our throats. He was proud of us, but we were just as proud of him." Led by quarterback Bart Starr, the Packers got out to an early 13-0 lead. However, the Raiders, responded with a Daryle Lamonica touchdown drive halfway through the second quarter. By halftime, the Packers led the Raiders, 16-7. In the third quarter the Packers scored a touchdown and a field goal, and a fourth quarter interception return for a touchdown by Packers cornerback Herb Adderly secured the victory for the Packers. Don Chandler kicked four field goals and all-pro cornerback Herb Adderley capped the Green Bay scoring with a 60-yard interception return.

At the end of the game, coach Lombardi was carried off the field by his victorious Packers in one of the more memorable images of early Super Bowl history. Bart Starr was named the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the second time for his 13 of 24 passing for 202 yards and one touchdown. The game marked the last for Vince Lombardi as Packers coach, ending nine years at Green Bay in which he won six Western Conference championships, five NFL championships, and two Super Bowls. Favored by 14 points, the NFL champions forged their triumph from the matchless play selection of Starr, the faultless place-kicking of Don Chandler and the superb team-wide execution born of the dedication demanded by Lombardi. Concluding his Green Bay career eight years after he took over a club that had finished 1-10-1 in 1958, Lombardi had observed that "to beat Oakland, you have to pick on the entire defense, not just on one man.

They don't stand and take the play. They jump around and try to confuse you." Attempts to confuse did not succeed against the well-disciplined Packers, who converted Raider mistakes into points. The Packers also took away the Raiders' most potent weapon, the power sweep. The game would also prove to be the final one for Packers wide receiver Max McGee, one of the heroes of Super Bowl I, and place kicker Don Chandler. The game had the first $3-million gate in professional football history. Vince Lombardi resigned as head coach of the Packers, but remained as general manager, January 28. Reflecting on the season, defensive end Willie Davis remarked, "I guess this season will be remembered as the one in which we won when we had to. A 9-4-1 record isn't great but nobody can say that we didn't have it when we needed it." The final result was the Green Bay Packers 33, the Oakland Raiders 14. The proud Packers saw their coach off in a style befitting a royal monarch.
