NBCSN to re-air Jets’ Super Bowl III win over Colts

NBC Sports Network is re-airing the Jets’ Super Bowl III victory over the Baltimore Colts.

If you’re missing Jets football right now, there is a way to fix that.

NBC Sports Network is re-airing the Jets’ Super Bowl III victory over the Baltimore Colts on Sunday, June 7 at 8 p.m. ET as part of NBCSN’s Super Bowl week. During the broadcast of the game, Liam McHugh will interview Super Bowl III MVP Joe Namath.

Super Bowl III is the only big game experience in Gang Green history. The Jets won 16-7 over the Colts. At the time, it was considered one of the biggest upsets in sports history.

Namath himself didn’t have the greatest game, but he was good enough to lead the Jets to victory. Running back Matt Snell actually led the Jets offensively with 30 carries for 121 yards and one touchdown. The Jets defense also did an amazing job, forcing the Colts to turn the ball over five times. The Jet defense only allowed Johnny Unitas to throw for 110 yards in the game. He also threw an interception.

This game should particularly interest younger Jets fans who have never seen the Jets win a championship. For the older crowd, it’s a flashback to the past, a time when the Jets were actually capable of winning something.

So if you have nothing else to do on a Sunday night and need some Jets football, NBCSN is where you’ll want to tune into.

So it’s no secret then that a lifelong dream of almost any football player is to make it to the NFL, be in a Super Bowl, and have a major impact on winning the game. Somewhat surprisingly though, there hasn’t been a ton of Ohio State greats with major starring roles in the biggest of big games.

But there have been a few worth noting, and that’s what we’re going to do here. Here are the top ten performances by a former Ohio State football player in a Super Bowl. Who knows, maybe Nick Bosa or Darron Lee add to the story Sunday.
