Jets 16, Colts 7
Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida
"I meant it so sincerely ( waving my finger No. 1), going off that field I was able to look up, I usually ran with my head down, my posture wasn't that great. I looked up and I saw all these people above the tunnel, screaming, waving their hands, the smiles on their faces, man it was_ that was the statement, we did it. The AFC. We did it, we won the championship,
I never saw so many happy faces in my life. I can see them today. That's what inspired that. Just raising that hand. That was the only time I ever raised my hand, making that gesture Never before in any level did I do that. The finality off that-we finally got there. Yeah."
