I’m not saying Joe Namath (17 of 28, 206 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INT) was undeserving of being named MVP of Super Bowl III, the milestone win that Namath “guaranteed for the New York Jets and the American Football League.
But I am saying there were a number of Jets at least equally deserving. For example:
Matt Snell rushed 30 times for 121 yards and the Jets’ only touchdown. He also 4 passes for 40 yards.
George Sauer Jr. caught 8 passes for 133 yards.
Randy Beverly had two of the Jets’ four interceptions.
Jim Turner’s three field goals were the difference in the Jets’ 16-7 win over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts.
