It's amazing all of the AFL teams ended up as NFL franchises after the former league folded.


They didn't fold they merged. And I went to the last AFL NFL game. Super Bowl IV at Tulane Stadium where the KC Chiefs beat the Minnesota Vikings.

And I remember Super Bowl III in the Orange Bowl

They didn’t wear the SB rings when they won?

No

There's Missing Rings or some NFL films, where Bubba Smith and Mike Curtis said they never wore their ring because the 1971 SB didn't make up for the '69 loss.

Plus that '71 SB was awful. The Colts turned the ball over 7 times and still won the game. You could argue that there were still players on the team trying to tank that game.
