Question Which would be bigger in Super Bowl history?
The upset of the Colts by the Jints in Super Bowl III or
Eli & the G-men defeating the undefeated Pats???

Any opinions.....

Broadway Joe and the jets. it gave legitimacy to the AFL and helped force the merger.

I wasn't around back in 1969 but from what I've read and heard Super Bowl 3 Jets win was the biggest upset in the history of professional football.

But when the Giants win on Sunday it will be pretty close to what happened in 69.

Was it as big an upset as the 1968 Jets?

This was the best Super Bowl I have ever watched,

point spread wise no. jets we 17 point underdog. record wise, would make it a close second. the pats were 14 point dogs to the rams a few years ago.
the jets win helped to form the nfl as we know it now.
