The New York Jets, also known as the Gang Green, are a professional American football team based in East Rutherford, New Jersey. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) and play their home games at MetLife Stadium.
Founded in 1959 as the Titans of New York, the team was renamed to its current name after being purchased by Sonny Werblin in 1963. Since then, they have won one Super Bowl championship (Super Bowl III) and four conference championships.
Despite having some successful seasons throughout their history, recent years have been challenging for the Jets, with inconsistent on-field performances leading to changes within their leadership structure.
As we head into another NFL season amidst a global pandemic that has affected sports worldwide, including American football, it remains to be seen how this will impact teams like NYJ, who are looking forward to making an impact on-field while keeping players safe from COVID-19 infections.
