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.
