1968 Jets Bengals AFL Home Movie - Joe Namath!

1968 Jets Bengals AFL Home Movie - Joe Namath!

I'm proud to present this beautiful transfer of a rare 8mm film from my personal home movie collection. This AFL football game took place at Shea Stadium in New York on December 8, 1968 (14th week of the season - 13th game for the Jets). The Jets hosted the Cincinnati Bengals (in their inaugural season), with the Jets prevailing 27-14. The films shows many plays from throughout the game. Great proof of Joe Namath's quick release in this footage. The Jets would finish the season 11-3 and surprise the nation by defeating the heavily favored NFL Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl 3 a few weeks later. Thanks to everyone for sharing your memories of the game, Shea Stadium, and this great Jets team. If you have any further information you wish to share, please comment below.
