Why read it?

1 author picked Countdown to Super Bowl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I recommend this book as the unparalleled, fascinating, detailed report of what was going on with the individual members of the New York Jets in the two weeks between the Jets’ AFL Championship game victory and their shocking upset victory over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl.

Published in 1969, it remains a must-read for football fans over 50 years later.

From Bob's list on my all-time favorite sports books.
