Win Title Game Over Vikings Pack Back In Playoff 20 NorthwMt Arkonsas TIMES, Dec. 11, 1972 By BRUCE I-OWITT Associated Press Writer The Pack is back--mainly back in the playoffs. San Francisco is back in first place. Pittsburgh is back, a game ahead of Cleveland. And Miami well, the Dolphins arc where they've been all National Football League season.

"We deserve the championship, Green Bay Coach Dan Devine said after his Packers had gotten just that--the championship of the National Conference Central Division, their i title since 1367 when they were in the Vince Lombard! era. They literally brutalized Minnesota in the second half Sunday, holding the Vikings to a mere five offensive plays and turning a 7-0 deficit into a 23-7 crunching spearheaded by running backs John Brockington and MacArthur Lane and rookie defensive back Willie Buchanon. Brockington became the league's first player to rush for 1.000 yards in each of his first two seasons as he churned up 113 yards against the Vikes. And Lane added 99 yards, setting up the first of three Chester field goals with a 37- yard dash and scoring later from three yards out. Buchanon took charge in the third period, first intercepting a Fran Tarkcnton pass and running it back 25 yards to set up Lane's score, then throttling a Minnesota drive by picking off another pass at the Green Bay 18 on the last play of the period.

In Sunday's other action, San Francisco silenced Atlanta 20-0. Pittsburgh slipped past Houston 9-3, Miami downed the New York Giants 23-13, St. Louis upset Los Angeles 24-14. Detroit tied Buffalo 21-21. Kansas City beat Baltimore 24-10.
