The result of the game was surprising to many in the sports media as Joe Namath and Matt Snell led Jets to the Super Bowl victory, under head coach Weeb Ewbank, who won two NFL Championships with the Colts.

Ewbank and quarterback Joe Namath led the Jets to prominence in 1969 when New York defeated the heavily-favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III and solidified the AFL's position in the world of professional football.

His first order of business, after changing the team's name and jerseys, was to sign Joe Namath to an unprecedented contract.

Al Davis had an enlarged photo of Joe Namath at Oakland's headquarters that depicted the quarterback sprawled out on the ground following a vicious hit from Raider defender Ben Davidson ; the photographed play was said to have broken the quarterback's jaw ( though Namath stated he had broken it on a tough piece of steak, and some claim it was Raiders defensive end Ike Lassiter who injured Namath ).

Though the Jets were viewed as the inferior team, Joe Namath publicly guaranteed New York's victory ; his prediction became immortalized as the Jets defeated the Colts 16 – 7.

Undaunted, Jets quarterback Joe Namath made an appearance three days before the Super Bowl at the Miami Touchdown Club and brashly guaranteed a victory.

On television before the game, New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath said, " If Miami gets the kickoff and scores on the opening drive, the game is over .".

To honor the 25th anniversary of the New York Jets ' upset win in Super Bowl III, that game's MVP, former Jets quarterback Joe Namath joined the coin toss ceremony.

Former CBS play-by-play and ESPN golf broadcaster Jim Kelly was the play-by-play announcer for many of those games in the 1980s, and Joe Namath was a commentator.
