New York Jets Tickets

NEW YORK JETS TICKETS

Originally founded in 1959 as the New York Titans, the New York Jets have made 14 playoff appearances, their most recent coming in 2010, when Gang Green was edged by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 24-19, in the AFC Championship. The franchise’s lone Super Bowl title came in 1969. A 16-7 triumph over the Earl Morrall/Johnny Unitas-led and heavily favored Baltimore Colts, it is considered one of the greatest upsets in the history of the National Football League. Despite the extended wait for a second Super Bowl title, Jet fans remain as passionate as ever, and New York Jets tickets are always in demand for home games at MetLife Stadium, an 82,500-seat facility the team shares with the New York Giants in East Rutherford, N.J.

NEW YORK JETS TEAM INFO

A three-game winning streak through Week 5 was perhaps the lone highlight of 2017 for the Todd Bowles-coached New York Jets, who fell short of the playoffs for the seventh straight season. But there’s reason for optimism in the Jet locker room following the first-round draft pickup of former USC QB and Rose Bowl star Sam Darnold. The team has long searched for an answer at the quarterback position, and Darnold might just be the solution. The offseason signing of free agent corner Trumaine Johnson should boost a defensive corps that also features ends Leonard Williams and Xavier Cooper.

NEW YORK JETS HISTORY

If there’s a signature moment in the history of the New York Jets, it’s Joe Namath’s bold prognostication in the lead-up to Super Bowl III. The Jets were overwhelming underdogs to the 13-1 Colts. But Broadway Joe would not be deterred. Making an appearance at the Miami Touchdown Club three days prior to the game, on January 9, 1969, the supremely confident 25-year-old famously predicted a win for New York, telling reporters, “We’re going to win the game. I guarantee it.” Namath then made good on his promise, leading the upstart Jets to a 16-7 victory, going 17-for-28 passing for 206 yards and no interceptions. He was named Super Bowl MVP. The Jets remain the only winning Super Bowl team to score just one touchdown — RB Matt Snell’s four-yard TD run in the game’s second quarter. It would be quite a year for New York sports. The New York Mets would later capture their first World Series crown, and the New York Knicks would become 1969-70 NBA Champions.

NEW YORK JETS HOME: THE MEADOWLANDS

The 85,000-seat MetLife Stadium, part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, N.J., is home to both the New York Jets and New York Giants. It remains the only stadium shared by two NFL clubs.
