Ranking the Green Bay Packers' 5 Biggest Blowout Wins
Sunday night's 55-14 trouncing of the Chicago Bears was a great moment for the Green Bay Packers, but it didn't even make the list of the five most one-sided wins in franchise history.
Here is a look back at the Packers' five largest margins of victory.
This list includes six games since there were ties. The only factor in determining this list is the number of points Green Bay won each game by.
These are all regular-season games, but the biggest margin of victory for the Pack in the postseason was a 37-0 win over the New York Giants in the 1961 NFL championship game. That was Vince Lombardi's first title win.
Feel free to comment on any of these games, and enjoy the memories.
5. November 12, 1967: Packers 55, Browns 7
1 of 6
Rookie kick returner Travis Williams returned two kicks for touchdowns in the first half as the Packers crushed the Cleveland Browns 55-7.
Williams returned the opening kick 87 yards for a touchdown and then added an 85-yard return after the Browns scored their only points of the game.
Green Bay led 35-7 after the first quarter and coasted to an easy victory over a Browns team that finished the season with a 9-5-0 record and won its division.
Meanwhile, rookie running back Donny Anderson was responsible for four touchdowns, scoring three on the ground and one on a 27-yard pass from Bart Starr.
Starr finished the game 14-of-21 passing for 266 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Marv Fleming snared the other scoring toss.
The Packers went on to win their third straight NFL title that year under Vince Lombardi, a mark that has still never been equaled. The season culminated with a 21-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in "The Ice Bowl" and a 33-14 win over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II.
5. December 23, 2012: Packers 55, Titans 7
2 of 6
The Packers romped to their fourth straight win in a 55-7 laugher over the visiting Tennessee Titans at Lambeau Field.
Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, while Ryan Grant rushed for two more scores.
Green Bay's defense sacked quarterback Jake Locker seven times and intercepted two passes in the win. The Titans managed only 180 total yards of offense for the game.
James Jones led all Packers receivers with seven catches for 100 yards and a touchdown, while Greg Jennings and Randall Cobb also caught touchdown passes.
The Packers finished the season with an 11-5 record and won the NFC North for the second consecutive season.
2. September 30, 1962: Packers 49, Bears 0
3 of 6
Jim Taylor ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns when the Packers routed the Chicago Bears 49-0 in Green Bay. With this performance, Taylor passed the legendary Jim Brown for the NFL rushing lead.
The Green Bay defense intercepted five Chicago passes in this game, three off starter Billy Wade and two off Rudy Bukich. Herb Adderley returned one of those picks 50 yards for the game's final touchdown.
Bart Starr threw only 12 passes in the game, but he completed nine of them for 154 yards and a touchdown.
The win improved the Pack to 3-0 on the season. They had outscored opponents 100-7 in those games.

2. November 11, 1962: Packers 49, Eagles 0
4 of 6
The Packers proved they were an offensive juggernaut when they rolled up 628 total yards in a 49-0 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia.
The final statistics in this game were about as one-sided as they could be. The Packers set a new NFL record with 37 first downs in the game, but the Eagles had just three. Philadelphia managed just 54 total yards of offense against Green Bay's 628.
The Packer attack was balanced. Green Bay gained 294 yards on the ground and 334 through the air.
Jim Taylor ran for 141 yards and four touchdowns to pace the Green Bay attack. Bart Starr completed 15 passes in 20 attempts for another 274 yards. Tom Moore ran for two scores and threw a touchdown pass to Boyd Dowler on a halfback option.
The win improved the Packers' record to 9-0 on the season and gave Vince Lombardi's club a small measure of revenge for their loss to the Eagles in the 1960 NFL championship game.
The Packers finished the season at 13-1 and defeated the New York Giants 16-7 to win their second straight league title.
2. October 9, 2005: Packers 52, Saints 3
5 of 6
The Packers finished the 2005 season with a 4-12-0 record, but they certainly looked like champions in Week 5 when they dismantled the New Orleans Saints 52-3 at Lambeau Field.
Green Bay trailed 3-0 before scoring 52 unanswered points in the game. Starter Brett Favre played only three quarters and completed 19 of 27 passes for 215 yards and three touchdowns in the game before giving way to rookie Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers threw and completed his first career pass in this game. It went to fullback Vonta Leach for no gain.
Fullback Najeh Davenport ran for 54 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game with a broken ankle.
Al Harris and Nick Barnett each returned interceptions for touchdowns. Barnett's was 95 yards and provided the final points of the game.
1. October 23, 1966: Packers 56, Falcons 3
6 of 6
The Atlanta Falcons were an expansion team still seeking a first win in franchise history. The Green Bay Packers were the defending NFL champions. The Packers proved how far the young Falcons had to go as they ripped them 56-3 at Milwaukee County Stadium.
Halfback Donny Anderson scored twice, once on a five-yard run and once on a 77-yard punt return, to pace the Packer attack.
Bart Starr threw one touchdown in the first half before giving way to backup Zeke Bratkowski, who threw one in the second half.
Herb Adderley and Doug Hart each returned interceptions for touchdowns, two of the four picks the Packers had in this game.
Carroll Dale caught four passes for 110 yards in the game, including a 51-yard touchdown pass from Starr.
The Packers improved to 6-1 with the win. They would finish the season 12-2, winning a second straight NFL title and a victory in the very first Super Bowl.
