    Max McGee and the First Touchdown in Super Bowl History — This Day in Packers History
    Jul 16 2026
    On July 16, 1932, Max McGee was born. By the 1966 season the 'Maxie the Taxi' receiver was a Packers backup with just 4 catches all year - and didn't expect to see the field in Super Bowl I. Then starter Boyd Dowler separated his shoulder, McGee came in wearing a borrowed helmet, and reached back one-handed for a 37-yard touchdown from Bart Starr: the first points in Super Bowl history. He finished with 7 catches, 138 yards, and 2 TDs in Green Bay's 35-10 win.

The tight end who 'finished' his career walked away with a ring from the first Super Bowl ever played.

This episode tells how Curly Lambeau appealed, paid a $50 entry fee for a new franchise in June 1922, and kept alive the team that is today the only publicly-owned club in major American pro sports.
