Kohls Countdown To Kickoff
Gameday / 1936 / December 13
Packers 21, Boston Redskins 6
1936 NFL Championship
Dec. 13 at Polo Grounds, New York


Although New York was not represented in the title playoff, the game was played at the Polo Grounds because George Preston Marshall, upset with Boston support, was shifting his Redskins franchise to Washington, D.C. In front of 29,545, Don Hutson caught a 48-yard touchdown pass from Arnie Herber in the first three minutes, and the Packers never trailed. Green Bay's two second-half scores were set up, respectively, by a 52-yard pass from Herber to Johnny "Blood" McNally and when Lon Evans blocked a punt.
