Zeke Bratkowski - Biography
Edmund Raymond "Zeke" Bratkowski (born October 20, 1931) is a former All-American quarterback at the University of Georgia from 1952 to 1953. He also had a fourteen-year career in the NFL with the Chicago Bears, L.A. Rams and Green Bay Packers, followed by a 26-year coaching career. He is the father of former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski.
Nicknamed “Super Sub,” the Packers were 8-1 in games, including postseason, where Bratkowski either started in place of Bart Starr or replaced him with the score tied or the Packers trailing by no more than seven points during their championship run from 1965 to 1967.
In the Western Conference playoff game versus the Baltimore Colts in 1965, Bratkowski relieved the injured Starr early in the game and led the Packers to a 13–10 overtime victory on December 26 at Lambeau Field. The Packers went on to win the NFL championship game against the Cleveland Browns on January 2, 1966. This was the first of three consecutive NFL titles for the Packers, unprecedented in the playoff era (since 1933), and yet to be repeated.
Bratkowski was inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1980, and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1989. He was elected to the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.
