When Underdogs Shocked the World: The Most Jaw-Dropping Super Bowl Upsets Ever
1. 18 Points â Super Bowl III: Jets 16, Colts 7 (Jan. 12, 1969 at Miami)
Letâs just say this is the Super Bowl that got all of the underdogs thinking big, and it remains the biggest upset by point spread in the gameâs history. It was the first victory for an AFL team (now the AFC) after the Green Bay Packers from the NFL (now NFC) comfortably won the first two Super Bowls.
The Baltimore Colts were 15-1 heading into the game and the New York Jets 12-3, but Joe Namath saw the upset coming â in fact, the game is remembered most for the Jets quarterback guaranteeing a victory in the leadup to Super Sunday.
