The GB Packers played in the first two AFL-NFL World Championships in '66 & '67. Wasn't the term "Superbowl" used for the 3rd meeting for the championships for the first time and then "back-dated" referring to the first two championships as Superbowls 1 & 2?

It was the press that first accepted the term Superbowl.
...."although the contest was officially known as the AFL-NFL World Championship, its unofficial name - the Super Bowl - was used in the media, the fans and the players, and the name stuck. "
