January 12, 1969: We remember Joe Namath and Super Bowl III

This is for those of us who remember the Jets beating the Colts in Super Bowl III.   
"Jets 16, Colts 7" was the final score but it was not that close at all.  


We remember The Joe Namath show:  17 of 28 for 206 yards.  He got help from a couple of teammates: George Sauer caught eight of those passes for 133 yards and Don Snell ran for a Super Bowl record 121 yards.    


As I recall, the game was a consequential victory for the AFL and led to the AFC and NFC that we know today.
