In what later became known as "The Blunder Bowl" due to the poor level of play, the Colts won 16-13 on a last second field goal by kickerJim O'Brien.[23] Vogel later said of the 1970 Super Bowl winning season, "How many teams that blow a Super Bowl get a second chance? I remember a bunch of us sitting in the locker room during training camp [in 1970] and looking at ourselves. Someone said, 'We're an aging team and if we don't get it done now, it ain't never gonna happen.' That thought drove us all season."[24]
