"Superb . . . cinematic . . . .A game that provided rich symbolism for
the victories of a new league and of a controversial quarterback."
--The New York Times
Countdown to Super Bowl tells the whole story of the game of the
century, written by the man who followed every movement of the Jets from
the first kick-off of the season, who lived, breathed, and agonized with
them for the ten nerve-tingling days before the Colts went down to
defeat in the Super Bowl.
Here, by Dave Anderson of the New York Times, is the play-by-play,
moment-by-moment saga of how Super Joe Namath and the Jets made good
Namath's boast that they would humble the NFL and vanquish the
invincible Colts.
This book provides all the color, the action, and the behind-the-scenes
drama of the greatest upset in football history.
In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of that miraculous New York
Jets Super Bowl win, fans can relive the stories and moments that led up
to that victory.
