NFL: Unitas Excels as Colts Upset Packers

Nov. 5, 1961 - John Unitas and his Baltimore Colt offense came alive with a vengeance today and ripped the Green Bay Packers, 45-21, in an NFL upset. The Packers had yielded only 68 points in 7 previous games and had won the last 6. The Colts, gaining revenge for a 45-7 shellacking by the Packers last month, appeared to catch fire on a spectacular run by Lenny Moore just before the first half ended. It put the Colts ahead, 21-14, and they smashed the Packers on both offense and defense in the second half.
