The Green Bay Packers thump the Baltimore Colts 42-27 at Memorial Stadium to take over first place in the season’s penultimate game. The Packers are led by Paul Hornung, who has a big day with 176 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns. The Colts would have clinched the Western Conference with a win but left the game with both of their quarterbacks injured.
