Officially, the third Super Bowl was the first “Super Bowl”, and it remains the biggest upset in the game’s history.
Three days after drunkenly guaranteeing a victory over the 18-point favorite Baltimore Colts, 26-year-old Joe Namath and his New York Jets built a 16-0 lead by the early fourth quarter, allowing only one score late in the game to win 16-7. Namath was named the game’s MVP, despite not throwing or running for a touchdown.
The most expensive ticket for this game was $12. You might be able to get in the last row of the Superdome tomorrow for $3,000 (plus fees).
