ESPN did a great job of putting together footage of the game and colorizing.It brought back fond memories for me of watching the master of the 2 minute drill Johnny U in action with Raymond Berry.

Hi Jeff

I always wondered why the Colts didn't go for the field goal
I see the footage all the time and winning touchdown was a very short run ,
The very first game I ever saw was the Colts Jets superbowl

Bill,Two thoughts on that

1)The owner of the Colts was a huge bettor and they needed the TD to cover the spread

2)Steve Myra was a below average FG kicker

Thanks Jeff

In regards to point #1
I have heard that his betting also played into
the Jets win in superbowl 3
Something about win the game but don't cover
But the NFL looked down on the AFL
and the Jets won

Bill,I just remembered you were not even born yet when that game was played,makes me feel old.

I always wondered if Johnny U had started that Jets-Colts game would the outcome have been different.
