When it comes to the Super Bowl, many fans of the NFL look at the quarterback or other star talent on the team that makes the incredible plays on the field.

Ewbank coached a spectacular game against the Baltimore Colts, as the Jets defeated them 16-7. Despite Joe Namath not throwing a touchdown or interception, his offensive performance was great.
