Led by now hall of fame quarterback Joe Namath, the Jets came out and showed everyone that the AFL is for real and is capable of winning games against the best the NFL has to offer on the biggest stage in football. However the game was still close with the colts only losing by a mere nine. In fact this Jets team is still the only Super Bowl team to win with only scoring one touchdown which is astonishing since there has been so many games now. And to further improve on the fact that the Afl could compete with the NFL the Kansas City Chiefs knocked off the Minnesota Vikings in which the Vikings were favorited by 12 points.
