    For this game we do not have the rights to the play-by-play audio, so like in previous uploads we put films music in its place. We are sorry about this, but hope you still enjoy watching the classic footage!

When in reality, the Browns and Jets have had far more failures. I feel bad for those die-hard fans that never leave.

    Joe Namath is the only HOF QB in the post-merger era that threw more INT's than TD's, and he had a losing record as a starter, thus this game was pretty much a microcosm of his career.
    He did some neat things, threw for 300 yards, a pretty TD pass, but ultimately lost the game because he was reckless and didn't take care of the ball, throwing 3 INT's including a pick 6 that clinched the loss, resulting in a lousy 68 QBR for the game.

    Billy Andrews interception at the end. Me and my brothers went to the game . We thought it was strange to have a football on monday night.

    I love how there were no "Hey look at me everybody!" touchdown celebrations and no spikes except for the very last defensive score to seal the game.

    So refreshing to see under center offenses. I can't stand today's read option. Those 5 to 7 step drops are a thing of beauty. Namath had a gun.

    If you look closely in the stands you can spot a young Hue Jackson ready to lead the team to 1 win in 2 seasons.

    This is back in a time where the Browns where not a joke and the Jets where not known for the butt fumble.

    Interesting to see the sidelines being far less crowded compared to today.
