School report: The Jets Fly High

Ok, this is a school report about one of the greatest Super Bowls ever New York Jets vs. the Baltimore colts on January 12, 1968.



One week before the big game the anger started, the jets quaterback Joe Namath and jets safetyman Jim Hudson the colts place-kicker Lou Michaels and colts guard Dan Sullivan were talking smack, they were saying you are going to get it after the game next week you will be breathing throw a tube. Namath was very confident, or maybe really hopeful because he will get a $400,000 bonus if he wins the game. But nobody thought the jets could win because the colts had been wining games like crazy. The mane reason people thought they would lose was because of the Baltimore defense is really good, they only allowed 144 points in 14 games. So far.



ok in to the game.





The jets won the coin toss they elected to receive. The jets first drive stalled. The colts first play they had a 30 yard pass play after that they got a 24 yard play, that put them on the jets 20 yard line but then the jets defense took over they shut the next three plays down and forced them the kick a 27 yard fieldgoal but it was wide right so the jets got the ball back on there own 20. The colts shut down the first two plays and on the third play Namath passing the ball to end George Sauer. Sauer caught the ball but then he got hit hard and fumbled the ball and it was recovered on the jets 12 yard line by linebacker Ron Porter. On the third play of the colts drive the ball was intercepted in the endzone that gave the jets the ball back on the 20 yard line. This drive tured in to a touchdown the jets took the lead 7-0. This is the first time the AFC has led at halftime. After the kickoff at halftime the colts first drive stalled and then the jets drive started looking good but it stalled. Then after a interception the jets got a fieldgoal to make a 10-0 lead. And the jets ended up won 16 to 7. The colts were very upset. Here are some stats.



stats:

RB Matt Snell- 121 yards and 30 carries

QB Joe Namath- completed 17 of 28 passes for 206 yards


Well the jets are not so good now I used to like the jets a lot but now I don't like them that much, because I know the center the jets (not for the super bowl I just wrote about) his name is Kevin Mawae, but the day before yesterday he got cut because the team could not afford to keep him on the team. But he still will play. Well got to go help tori with the babies. Here are some pictures.
