The more Namath reveals about his decisions, the brilliant he becomes. Dang! Absolute text book slicing up of a great defense by Namath. Major props. This is why he is in the HOF.

[@MagSeven7]

I agree. I recently read a story as to which players are in the HOF who don't deserve to be and Namath was on the list. Based on this game alone and what he did for the AFL he belongs. He also threw for 4,000 yards in one season back then. That's one of those stats that becomes more incredible as time goes on when you realize how different the game was in the '60's and '70's. I saw Joe play a few times and I still think nobody could throw like him. And I'm a lifelong Giants fan!!!

[@richardgrace5043]

@@MagSeven7 dude still till this day has amonv the worst career td/in ratio in a career with more int than tds and his decision making in the pocket was questionable at best... also terry bradshaw is also on the list of players who should nkt be in the HOF yes he has like 4 superbowl wins but thats more on the team than on him and the team being able too win in spite of him not because of him (still the onky qb to throw 4 interceptions in a superbowl and still win) haf one of the best if not the best defences of all time (the steel curtain defence)

[@MagSeven7]

@@richardgrace5043 It's not Namath's records that got him in, it's his impact on the NFL and what he did in that one game. It was a different game then, but, throwing for 4,000 yards in the 60's? I saw im play a few times. That was an era when the QB called their own plays too. So it was all on his shoulders

[@MrRufusRToyota]

Bear Bryant said the best game he ever saw called was one that Joe called. He only threw three times in the entire game. Few people I have ever understood the game the way he did.

[@moonrich3492]

@@richardgrace5043 It was a different game back then . Most QBs had more INTs than TDs. But if I had one game to win, Joe would be my starting QB (and I'm not a Jets fan). Watch the AFL championship game when the Raiders edged the Jets. It was the bravest performance by a QB in league history.

[@indycustommade3568]

I love how Peyton surprises Joe with his reads. Peyton has such an outstanding football mind. As a Colts fan, it gets frustrating to see Peyton get remembered more for his days in Denver instead of Indy. Don't forget us.

[@dreichert1438]

I went to Tennessee when Peyton was there. Got to see him play quite a few times. Grew up a cowboys fan but I didn't like Switzer and wasn't a Jones fan and I sort of disowned them after that. Followed Peyton through his career and he was absolutely spectacular as a Colt. Only teams shirt I ever purchased, but I had to follow him to the broncos. It was all about him and not about the broncos. Best regular season quarterback I've ever seen as far as consistency and absolutely the greatest football mind I have ever seen aside from a few coaches like Bill Walsh. Would absolutely love to see him coach but I can understand why he doesn't want to participate in that

[@kenrobinson7563]

I was born in 2000 Peyton manning will always be a colt and best pure qb of all time coming from a pats fan

[@ralphiecifaretto8961]

Indy held him back. He should have just as many Super Bowl appearances as Brady.

[@liversuccess1420]

@@ralphiecifaretto8961 Indy didn't hold him back, the AFC was fierce in the 2000s. You had Brady and NE, you had Pittsburgh, you had Baltimore, and even San Diego was good back then. It was uber competitive. The Colts got to two and won one, that's good.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Joe Namath was true field general & had one of the greatest arms in NFL history. His body (knees) let him down so he didn’t get to play in the pros nearly as much as he could have in those years. But he was a serious masterful QB who studied the game despite his partying image. Great man.

[@jadenbowers5148]

"They should've known better" talk your shit Joe 😂😂😂

[@farmerj1]

I love these mini documentaries. I am not a big NFL fan, but watching Peyton interact with other greats is amazing. Thanks for producing and sharing!

[@WillWigg]

Crazy how these two played so far apart yet can still talk about the game so thoroughly. It’s beautiful.

[@MountainMan.]

Everything about Namath is cool. Even his voice.

[@KarmaNDuality]

These clips with Payton interviewing the greats is just such a treat to watch.

[@alanchristie368]

The last AFL/NFL championship game was the following year, between the Chiefs and Vikings. The merger took place after the 1969 season. SB IV was played in January 1970 (1969 season.)

[@Pksoze]

Yeah I'm a bit surprised Peyton made this mistake or is it his inner Bronco coming out taking a passive aggressive shot at the Chiefs.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I really don't simp for anyone, but for the Mannings, I'll have to make a hard exception. Archie, Payton, and Eli ... the amount of football that runs through those veins. LOVE Omaha Productions. Keep it coming.

Known for the quickest release ever, until Marino showed up. Very comparable.

[@michaelatkinson6730]

Joe Namath is an NFL treasure. He was something different in those times.

[@edvonblue]

Broadway Joe = most entertaining QB in nfl history

[@roberthutton8386]

Namath really was fundamental in creating the importance of the Super Bowl. After all its an AFL named Super Bowl by Lamar Hunt. Peyton can speak in these videos as a peer and it really enhances the conversations.

[@bengaltiger96]

Joe has had his moments, but when he was on, he was on. First QB to throw 4,000 yards in a (14 game) season.

[@courtney5796]

I became a Bronco fan in 1992. I was not a huge Elway fan (actually met him a couple times at Cherry Hills CC), but what a great ending for him. To see Peyton do this was amazing. If you don't like Peyton as a football player? YOU have issues.

[@markchavez2776]

I totally agree. I am 65 and have watched Football most of my Life. Seen a few Players in those Days, but Broadway Joe and Peyton. Are truly the rare exceptions that changed the Game of Football. No doubt about it.

Nice subtle historical part when you say ‘The NFL vs The American Football League’. You have no idea how many times I've had to explain to a drunk 20-something the difference between the AFL and the AFC. Hopefully, this will keep me from developing a twitch.

this was a retro look but peope don't understand the swagger and how big joe namath actually was - being in nyc helped, plus the audacity to predict a win - it all came together for him and the jets that year - this clip lacked some of the music and production of traditional nfl films but still delivered by wheeling joe out and also the old film as well - minus the music. people do not understand how big and fast nfl players are is what i will leave off with - it is even more true today

It should be noted that Joe Namath threw for over 4,000 yards in the 1960s when they only played 14 games. This was a record up until 1979 when the Chargers beat it in a 16 game season. Namath was no slouch. 2/10/24, 10:15 p.m.

The true reason the Colts lost was the awful, awful play they received at QB and on special teams. Multiple red zone failures -- an interception, a missed chip shot field goal, another field goal missed, an interception from Unitas. One of those is hard to overcome, but they committed multiple costly errors. And the Jets took advantage, to their credit.

I can't believe Peyton Manning could make such a COLOSSAL mistake in the introduction of this video by [FALSELY] stating that Super Bowl III was "the LAST championship game between the best of the NFL and the best of the rival American Football League before the two leagues merged." That assertion is simply FLAT-OUT WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Manning is supposedly such a student of the game that it's nearly unfathomable that he could make SUCH a bone-headed mistake. In point of fact, the "LAST" Championship Game between the AFL and NFL was Super Bowl IV in January 1970 as the culmination of the 1969 season (the NFL's 50th season and the AFL's 10th season). In that final AFL vs. NFL Super Bowl, the KC Chiefs upset the Minnesota Vikings to even the all-time Super Bowl series record between the AFL and NFL at 2 victories apiece. It was ONLY AFTER Super Bowl IV, and then the subsequent respective AFL All-Star and NFL Pro-Bowl games that the AFL formally ceased to exist as a legal entity and the merger (which had been agreed to back in June 1966) took effect operationally.

[@funnykids572]

This is why I believe Dan shula is The greatest coach ever coach in NFL team he has been to multiple teams and multiple super bowls Don't Think Bill B could do that for as long as shula did

[@moonrich3492]

Weeb Ewbank won titles with both the Colts and Jets. Paul Brown CREATED two pro teams, the Browns and Bengals, and won 7 titles with the Browns. Per his Wikipedia article: "He was the first coach to use game film to scout opponents, hire a full-time staff of assistants, and test players on their knowledge of a playbook. He invented the modern face mask, the practice squad and the draw play. He also played a role in breaking professional football's color barrier, bringing the first African-Americans to play pro football in the modern era onto his teams." Shula played for Brown and wouldn't have been much of anything without him. Same for Chuck Noll.
