Yup, altho a lot of people believe Snell deserved it more. Snell had 30 carries for 121 yards, plus 4 catches out of the backfield. Namath's numbers weren't all that impressive--17/28, 206 yards. But, he called all of his own plays, mixed it up and kept the ball out of the Colts' hands.
Of interest to Pats' fans---Babe Parilli was Namath's back-up and spelled him for a series, throwing one pass that was incomplete.
Baltimore killed themselves with 5 turnovers---Morrall was picked off 3 times, Unitas once, and they also had a fumble.
