Geocache Description:

This is the fourth hide in my series "NFL Lore" which will highlight bizarre or heroic play of football players and teams over the history of the NFL. Sportscasters have named these plays and I have hidden the caches in their honor. Here you are looking for a medium sized container that blends into its surroundings. Watch for muggles. Parking at GZ. Bring a writing thing. Return exactly as hidden. Not anywhere near the hospital. Room for small TBs and coins.

The Guarantee (January 12, 1969, AFL New York Jets vs. NFL Baltimore Colts, Super Bowl III) The 19-point favorite Colts lose 16-7 to the New York Jets after quarterback Joe Namath "guaranteed" a win for the Jets at The Miami Touchdown Club just a few days before the game. After the Packers won the first two Super Bowls, the doubts about the AFL's ability to compete with the NFL had increased. This victory by the Jets helped quell them, helping cement the AFL-NFL merger.

Starting this off with Raise the Jolly Roger TB, which is owned by me.
