Yes, the New York Jets won Super Bowl III in January 1969, defeating the Baltimore Colts 16–7. Before the game, quarterback Joe Namath had famously guaranteed the Jets would win, adding to the upset victory’s significance. The Jets have since made four appearances in the AFC championship game but have not advanced to the Super Bowl.
