| Summary |
Tells the complete story of Super Bowl III, from recollections of the Colts as well as the jets. The outcome of this seeming mismatch would impact far more than just the Jets and the Colts. The AFL had seen its previous two champions, Kansas City and Oakland, humbled by the Green Bay Packers in the first two Super Bowls. Had the Jets been beaten badly by Baltimore, as experts predicted, the worth of the coming merger between the warring leagues would have been damaged and the legitimacy of the Super Bowl as a true championship contest called further into question. Super Bowl III was a moment in time when the sport's past, present and future met in historical intersection. To the men who made it happen, who played a role in its final outcome, Super Bowl III is more than just a game that changed pro football. It's an event that changed their lives and continues to impact them to this day. |
