Today in sports history, the New York Jets etched their name into NFL history with one of the biggest sports upsets ever. That, of course, took place in 1969, when the Jets beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III after Joe Namath’s guarantee.
The Jets came into the game as 19.5-point underdogs. Three days before the game, Namath famously guaranteed that the Jets would win the Super Bowl III.
