This game is remembered for Namath's famous prediction of a Jets victory, but the legend of Broadway Joe obscures other extraordinary performances. Matt Snell rushed for 121 yards for the Jets, and the New York secondary picked off three Earl Morrall passes in the first half to completely shut down the heavily favored Colts. Johnny Unitas, who had suffered from a sore elbow most of the season, came off the bench in the second half and completed 11 of 24 passes, but the Colts could only manage one fourth-quarter TD. Namath completed 17 of his 28 passes for 206 yards to win the MVP award.
