I felt terrible when the Colts lost that Super Bowl. One Colt player said that the team did, indeed, take the Jets seriously, but Baltimore looked flat and blew chance, after chance, to put the Jets away early. You don't allow great teams like the Jets those chances. I, personally, thought the Raiders were a stronger team than the Jets, but it is a moot point now. Jets beat everybody they had to beat. They deserved the trophy.
@@ElYahvecinLang Chiefs vs Raiders WAS THE AFL RIVALRY IN THOSE DAYS! The Jets vs. Raiders "rivalry" was the "Heidi Game" and the 1968 AFL Championship game played shortly afterwards.
I just love these it reminds me of greatness and quality of yesterday and this footage rocks with the music too !! Great RUclips channel and very entertaining thanks 👍
The abysmal playing conditions of these fields never ceases to amaze me. Late-season and playoff games in Cleveland, Baltimore, Buffalo, Washington and Atlanta, to name a few, were guaranteed to feature fields more closely resembling a blind farmer's plowing efforts than a professional football surface. Even the two league's showcase game a season later in New Orleans (Super Bowl IV) was played in a quagmire. It's surprising that more players weren't injured by these fields due to loose, wet grass and muddy conditions.
Natural turf is what I miss most about old school football. As a kid growing up I loved watching a game in challenging conditions. And I think I still would if played on natural turf. Used to love to play sandlot football in the rain and snow. Come home and look at myself in the mirror as if a dirty, bloody football jersey was a badge of honor.
I am a longtime JETS fan and am grateful for winning the '69 Super Bowl, however I find it crazy that we only had to win 1 playoff game in order to get to the Super Bowl (so unlike today).
In 1968 the AFL had 10 teams in 2 divisions. The NFL had 16 teams in 4 divisions. Before going to New York the Raiders had to play that divisional tiebreaker game against the Chiefs, there was no tiebreaker "system" back then to it was setteled by an extra game. The Jets won their division outright. For the AFL's last year in 1969 they set up a 4-team / 2-round system of the 1st and 2nd place teams from each of their 2 divisions. After that the AFL merged into NFL with 2 conferences the AFC and NFC. The NFL sent the Browns, Steelers, and Colts to the AFC to balance them both out.
That's Jack Buck and Pat Summerall on the NFL championship game call! And I heard Charlie Jones voice who did work for Afl films and calls for NBC AFL AND AFC games well into the 90s! As a matter of fact did the call on the famous Bills v Oilers playoff game in 93 when the Bills came back ft 32 down to win in overtime. That was HOFer Curt Howdy and Al Derogotis on the Super bowl 3 call for NBC. And of course the voice of NFL films, the great John Facenda! Any questions?
Am I the only guy that picked up on it, but Curt Gowdy continually referred to Colts linebacker Don Shinnick all game as Dan Shinnick, not DON Shinnick! Loved the way the great Winston Hill handled the guy that ran him out of the Colts training camp during the summer of 1963 and right into the arms of Weeb Ewbank, new coach of the Jets, Ordell Braase!! That was one of the key matchups of the game! As a Jets fan, nothing ever beats those memories!
Colts were inside the 20 something like 5 times and scored once. I believe the spread was Colts by 17 some say game was fixed if so someone would have talked by now.
True, although a lot of the rest of the AAFC was subpar to the NFL, again..except the BROWNS.. The AAFC was either 80 percent or in the last season, 70 percent the size of the NFL, yet even accounting for that size difference, THE AAFC produced far fewer ALL-PROS AND HALL OF FAME GUYS THAN THE NFL..WITH A SIZE ADJUSTMENT USING MATH, ALMOST 60 PERCENT OF 1940'S AND 1950'S HALL'S GUYS never played in the AAFC, WITHOUT THE adjustment, it was in reality much higher HALL REPRESENTATION FOR THE NFL..FEW AAFC GUYS WERE ON THE ALL-PRO WRITERS' TEAMS FROM '46-49 WHILE THE LEAGUE WAS STILL ALIVE. CLEVELAND was 53-4-3 IN THE AAFC= NFL CALIBER TEAM in the AAFC, featuring black players BREAKING THE COLOR BARRIER, such as rback M.MOTLEY, HORACE GILLOM the outstanding punter, and D-LINEMAN BILL WILLIS, but above all, white as snow QBACK OTTO GRAHAM was the STAR..an understatement. He was in a titlegame every season of his pro career(10 in ftball, 1 in HOOPS), won 8 of those titles, 7 in FTBALL(ALBEIT 4 IN THE WEAKER AAFC), AND 3 IN THE NFL, WITH ONE IN THE NBL(ROCHESTER ROYALS now known as the SACRAMENTO KINGS) his only season in the hoops league..before he ever played a down in pro ball, for his total magnificance.
Where do you get the broadcast footage? I'd love to get as many 60s games' broadcasts as can be found. Note: not NFL films (as much as I enjoy them, too), but network telecasts. Does anybody know of a site or d-base logging availability like that? I know that many games are lost forever. A couple that come to mind are Super Bowl I itself, plus 1971 division round KC-Miami, the longest game ever played. Thanks for your work!
Scoring summary in the description is cool. 2:14- Is Kelly in the HOF? He was among the best during that era but seems to have been forgotten these days. 2:25- The announcer was gonna say something about the ground level camera before being cut off. I remember the "ground level" replay. It was a big deal in those days. Not sure why. 3:12- I remember the Browns being the winningest team at that point. Ran into a bit of a drought since. 4:15- I like the background music choice but starting to get annoyed with the volume at this point. What with the announcers in the video clips being barely audible, the music isn't really in the background. 5:20- Nobody really gave a sh*t about the AFL in those days except for maybe Oakland vs KC. That was one of the better rivalry games back then. 9:35-They put Unitas in and he led them to their only TD. This season was my first as an NFL fan, and consequently my first Super Bowl. Geez, I was so young. Can't believe how much I remember, although the memories are foggy. Seems like they put Unitas in very late in the game, which makes me wonder now why he didn't start. The way I remember it, the reason was he was injured, yet he came in the game eventually. This clip didn't show it, but I seem to remember the Colts running a trick play while Unitas was in, some kind of reverse where Matte, I think, lateralled the ball back to Unitas who threw a long pass. Which was picked off as I remember. Kind of a dagger for the Colts, but as I recall, they were already beat at that point and this was a desperation play.
Because they were the only East Division Champions, The Raiders and Chiefs had a playoff match because they finished tied in the top of the West Division.
@@markhoezee6292, yep..TOP 2 IN EACH DIVISION..SHOULD'VE made it division winners, next two wild cards/best records..THIRD PLACE WESTERNER CHARGERS would've made it at 9-5-0, instead of weak EASTERN second place HOUSTON AT 6-6-2. H-TOWN WAS BLOWN OUT IN 1969-70 PLAYOFFS 56-7 BY OAKLAND. SD WOULD'VE GIVEN THE RAIDERS A MUCH BETTER GAME.
Let me get this straight...The Raiders were 12-2 the Jets 11-3..and lost to the Raiders BUT the Raiders had to play an extra game AND play the Championship game in New York...what a crock if shit that is.
White Room by Cream was the perfect choice for the musical background of this awesome video.
Thank you very much sir
Clashes with the NFL/ AFL FILMS music, hard to hear any specific music.
You deserve way more subs
Thank you very much, Ill keep working to get there

@@ElYahvecinLang will you ever do the rest of the superbowls past 88 bro?
Super Bowl III was the only Super Bowl that was played in the same stadium as the year before - the Miami Orange Bowl.
you´re right, I noticed that a time ago

I prefer those games in the mud
Must have been monsoon season at the end of 1968, almost every playoff game was played in a field of mud.
Hehehe winter made the fields go mud
If I'm not mistaken, the NFL Eastern and Western Championship games were televised by CBS not NBC for NBC televised the AFL Playoffs.
Thats right, in that moment I used the Super Bowl scoreboard for all games, I fixed that in the next videos
I am a longtime JETS fan and am grateful for winning the '69 Super Bowl, however I find it crazy that we only had to win 1 playoff game in order to get to the Super Bowl (so unlike today).
Now almost half of the teams make it to the playoffs

Everyone forgot who was the Jets defensive coordinator....Buddy Ryan.
Defensive coordinator for the 1985 Bears
Why did you stop making these videos? They're awsome! You have a new subscriber.
I hadn´t stop, I´m making the 1982 playoffs, the problem is the video is gonna be large because of the strike, there were 16 teams in the playoffs
@@ElYahvecinLang Great! Can't wait to see it.

Pat Summerall had too many years calling games
Charlie Jones was a great PBP guy. Cool customer. You can tell Verne Lundquist used him as an influence.
Defensive Coordinator for the New York Jets? Mr. 46 D himself. Buddy Ryan.
Am I the only guy that picked up on it, but Curt Gowdy continually referred to Colts linebacker Don Shinnick all game as Dan Shinnick, not DON Shinnick!

@@chucklynch6523, BRAASE was over the hill, had been playing since the 1950's..
Colts were inside the 20 something like 5 times and scored once. I believe the spread was Colts by 17 some say game was fixed if so someone would have talked by now.
Yeah to give credibility to the NFL-AFL fusion
If you think its fixed, ladies and gents, present the incontrovertible evidence.
Go ahead..
The background music is annoying. Other than that,good memories.especially the jets!
I agree, I wasn´t good putting music to the videos back then
And then years later they both were in the AFC East.... until the colts left Baltimore what a shame 🤔
And until 2002 when the Colts went to the AFC South
@@ElYahvecinLang yes Rip Memorial Stadium 🤔
Nope, BROWNS were in the AFC CENTRAL..
The nfl should look at how the muddy soft fields caused less injuries then the manicured grass rolled out over concrete of today
I agree, it gave style to the league and also maybe it was better for the players health, maybe not because of slippery field, I´m not sure.
From 1946 to 1972 the Browns were pro football's winningest team.
That´s right, they were in the playoffs very often, now they can hardly get a winning season

@@ElYahvecinLang, technically, yes, in reality the RAVENS are the old BROWNS, NO MATTER WHAT THE NFL OR A CLEVE. CITY LAWSUIT SAID/SAYS.
@@robertsprouse9282 actually no, the nfl said the records were kept for the browns when they came back. Check your statements first

No, trickster qb was EARL MORRALL..
@@robertsprouse9282 yep. Looked it up. And it was just before halftime so I was way off.
At 2:36 one referee was waiving no good on the fieldgoal
Hehehe definitively
why didnt the jets play a first round game
Because they were the only East Division Champions, The Raiders and Chiefs had a playoff match because they finished tied in the top of the West Division.
The following year the afl had four teams in the playoffs
@@markhoezee6292, yep..TOP 2 IN EACH DIVISION..SHOULD'VE made it division winners, next two wild cards/best records..THIRD PLACE WESTERNER CHARGERS would've made it at 9-5-0, instead of weak EASTERN second place HOUSTON AT 6-6-2.

Let the nfl films music play in the background, it's way better!
Hehehe sorry sir for not including the music
nfl games were televised by cbs in those days!
You´re right, I corrected that later
Let me get this straight...The Raiders were 12-2 the Jets 11-3..and lost to the Raiders BUT the Raiders had to play an extra game AND play the Championship game in New York...what a crock if shit that is.
agree with you, that makes no sense
Cleveland was really good that year, and probably would have beat the Jets. But, we will never know because they got destroyed by Baltimore.
Ha Ha! Browns lose again
That´s right
CBS not NBC for the NFL games.
Sorry for that mistake, I corrected it in the following videos
