1967 Colts 27 - 1968 Jets 10

Wrong year for the Colts by one, but a measure of revenge for SB III, as Johnny Unitas put down the jets in businesslike fashion. namath had a pretty good game, hitting improbable long passes on a number of occasions, but the Jets weak running attack took the day off, and Johnny Unitas was even better than Namath. Eventually the difference was a 3:1 turnover advantage for the Colts
