December 14, 1941
Weather-5 degrees, wind 8 mph W
The Packers and Giants played a defensive struggle at freezing cold City Stadium in Green Bay. The Packers defense controlled the game, holding the Giants to 150 yards on their way to the 1941 NFL Championship game. Neither team turned it over and penalties were few and far between despite the cold, a fantastically played game by both teams.
Packer QB Cecil Isbell played well in all phases, throwing for 67 yards, running for 66, and leading the defense with 5 solo tackles. Record-breaking receiver Don Hutson led the Packers with 4 catches. Hutson was responsible for the only points of the game, a 15-yard field goal in the second quarter. Green Bay ran for 179 yards against the Giants, led by Isbell and Clarke Hinkle, who finished with 64 yards on a game-high 17 carries.
Green Bay will host Brooklyn for the NFL Championship.
