A warmup post for the great amerkin football spectacle this weekend. Jan. 12, 1969:

Super Bowl III was the third AFL-NFL Championship Game in professional American football, but the first to officially bear the name “Super Bowl“. (Although the two previous AFL-NFL Championship Games came to be known, retroactively, as “Super Bowls”.) This game is regarded as one of the greatest upsets in sports history. The heavy underdog American Football League (AFL) champion New York Jets (11-3) defeated the National Football League (NFL) champion Baltimore Colts (13-1) by a score of 16–7.^[2] It was the first Super Bowl victory for the AFL. *
