NEW YORK (WFAN) — Was Joe Namath really that confident when he made his Super Bowl III guarantee or was he just spouting off?
“Before I made that guarantee, I was confident,” the Jets great told WFAN’s Mike Francesa on Wednesday. “We had looked at films of the Colts prior to going down to Florida for the game. We knew — I knew — the Colts weren’t going to change for us. They were going to keep doing what they did best, and that was putting pressure on the passer. That was blitzing. That was choking that line of scrimmage.
