Joe Namath is a well-known celebrity athlete who endorses Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plans, particularly during the fall Medicare open enrollment period (also called the Annual Election Period, or AEP).

While Namath would be famous for his record-setting collegiate career at Alabama, he is best remembered for his bold and accurate prediction that his New York Jets would defeat the Baltimore Colts in the third Super Bowl, regarded as one of the greatest upsets in sports history.

Joe Namath is best remembered for his performance in the New York Jets' stunning 16-7 upset of the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. However, during his 13-year tenure from 1965 through 1977 he was one of the game's most exciting, proficient and publicized quarterbacks.

Maynard was the main target for Namath with the New York Jets, though a leg injury made him less effective in the team's stunning upset of the NFL champion Baltimore Colts in the 1969 Super Bowl. That game established the credibility of the newer league, but Maynard had proven himself long before that.

Nicknamed "Broadway Joe", Namath became a media celebrity who attracted attention even outside of sports. Namath remains one of the league's most famous and popular figures. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.

Damage was particularly noticeable on the left side of his brain, where impacts during his football years were most severe. Namath underwent 40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy over a period of six months at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida.

Leaders

The high point of Namath's career was his performance in the Jets' 16–7 win over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III in January 1969, shortly before the AFL–NFL merger.

A 99-yard pass play is the longest play involving a forward pass that is possible in an American football game. It gains 99 yards and scores a touchdown for the offensive team. The play has occurred thirteen times in NFL history, most recently by Eli Manning and Victor Cruz.

Baker Mayfield currently holds the record after launching a stunning 70.5-yard hail mary attempt against the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, Mayfield failed to hit the target, so his efforts were in vain.

Facts

99 yards The play covered 99 yards and will forever remain the NFL record. Coming to light after the touchdown was that Dorsett was not the intended ball carrier and that there were only 10 Cowboys players on the field during the play. The play was designed for the ball to go to running back Ron Springs.
