The team is also a powerhouse ranking third among all NFL franchises with eight NFL championship titles including 4 before the Super Bowl era and 4 after. The team has also earned more championship appearances than any other team, with an incredible 19 overall showings.

The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in New York’s metropolitan area. The Jets are in the NFL’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division and play their home games at MetLife Stadium alongside the New York Giants. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey and is known by fans as the “Gang Green”.

The team was founded in 1959 as the New York Titans. Originally the team were members of the American Football League (AFL) and later joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger of 1970. The team first played in 1960 at their original home at the Polo Grounds.

Shortly after, in 1964, the team went under new ownership and its current name “The Jets”, the team moved to Shea Stadium. The Jets advanced to the playoffs for the first time a few years later, in 1968, and went on to compete in Super Bowl III where they defeated the Baltimore Colts and became the first AFL team to defeat an NFL club in an AFL-NFL World Championship Game.

Since then, the team has made 13 playoff appearances and in the AFC Championship Game four times, with their most recent appearance in 2010 when the team lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team hasn’t yet returned to the Super Bowl, making them one of two NFL teams that have won their lone Super Bowl appearance, along with the New Orleans Saints. They are also one of four teams to have never won an AFC championship. Though the Jets are currently experiencing a long championship drought, their fans are passionate and come out to cheer on the team during all of their home games at MetLife Stadium.
