(fantasy football) Why isn't Joe Willie Namath starting? Another stirring comeback for the 82-year-old, wheelchair-bound legend, as the Jets edge New England, 28-27.

GRA: A gutsy two-point call, that was perfectly executed by relief quarterback Joe Namath--with two seconds left in the game--led the visiting New York Jets to a heartstopping win over the New England Patriots, by a 28-27 margin.

Justin Fields broke the 100-yard barrier in passing yards, but Namath had that in the fourth quarter alone, directing two touchdown drives and the victory.

Joe finished 13 for 16, for 150 yards.

After bringing the Jets to within one point, at 27-26, Namath audibled at the line of scrimmage for the all-or-nothing two-point conversion, rolling out to his right (thanks to Josh Reynolds pushing Namath's wheelchair), and finding Breece Hall between two defenders and the upset win.

"This is way too much fun," said the legend.

In real life, the Jets lost by 13 points, 27-14, in another lousy effort by a lousy team.
