Chris "Mad Dog" Russo on how Super Bowl III Took the NFL Mainstream | The Biggest Game

Fresh off First Take, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo tells us that back in 1969 the NFL and AFL were two separate leagues. They didn't even call the championship game the "Super Bowl" yet. But when Joe Namath guaranteed victory and led the New York Jets to a shocking upset victory over Don Shula's Baltimore Colts, all that began to change. The impending merger between the two leagues suddenly seemed less like the junior varsity joining the big time, and more like a marriage between equals. And with a cross cultural icon like Namath leading the way, the NFL had its leading man. On this episode of The Biggest Game, we look at the moment, that the NFL became MAINSTREAM. ✔️ Subscribe to ESPN Unlimited: https://plus.espn.com/nfl #ESPN Learn more about your ad choices.
