First established in 1960 as members of the American Football League(AFL), the New York Jets are currently members of the National Football League(NFL)’s Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC). Originally known as the New York Titans, the team adopted its current moniker in 1963.

The Jets won their first Super Bowl Championship in 1968, only a few short years after the franchise’s establishment and the arrival of the quarterback monolith, Joe Namath. It was the team’s first playoff appearance, and its only Super Bowl title. After one more postseason entry a year later, the Jets would not enter the playoffs again for over a decade, until 1981.

After a playoff appearance in 1991, the Jets would slide downhill for the next few years. However, the NFL draft would set the stage for a turnaround for the New York team. In 1997, the Jets began to regain their respectability; then, in 1998, after signing USC wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, the Jets again hit the postseason. The following years would see much improvement in the Jets’ game.

The turn of the century signaled a new era for the New York team. With four first round picks in the 2000 NFL Draft, the Jets signed two defensive ends, one tight end, and quarterback Chad Pennington. Al Groh was hired as new head coach, and his first move was to trade away Keyshawn Johnson. Groh did not last, however; the next year, Herman Edwards of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was hired. Under Edwards, the team managed to take a wild card playoff berth from the Oakland Raiders, but when faced with the Northern California team in the first game of the playoffs, the Jets lost.

Again in 2002 the Jets would enter the playoffs, destroying the Indianapolis Colts in the opening game, but the team would lose to the Raiders in the divisional playoffs. In 2003, a series of player losses through free agency, combined with a pre-season injury to Pennington, left the Jets with a dismal 6-10 regular season record.

In 2005, the Jets roster shifted. The team acquired several free agents and a backup quarterback, Jay Fielder. Several key players left or were traded for other, less costly, players. Thus, when both Pennington and Fielder were injured for the season, the Jets found themselves stumbling toward the cellar instead of knocking for the postseason, as they had hoped in the preseason. The team finished at 4-12 and used its fourth pick in the 2006 NFL Draft to sign D’Brickashaw Ferguson.

In 2007 the Jets acquired Chicago Bears running back Thomas Jones. Pennington was replaced by Kellen Clemens as starting quarterback, but Clemens couldn’t rescue the team. The Jets finished at 4-12.

In August of 2008, the Jets signed Brett Favre from the Green Bay Packers and released Pennington to the Miami Dolphins. Favre gave the Jets a 56-35 win against the Arizona Cardinals, while Jones rushed 1,312 yards and scored 13 rushing touchdowns. Despite these exceptional performances, however, the Jets finished the regular season with 9-7 record, eliminating them from the postseason. In December, head coach Eric Mangini was fired.

After a series of administration changes, including the hiring of Mike Tannenbaum as general manager, the Jets finished the regular season with a much-improved record of 10-6. The team entered the playoffs at fifth seed, but lost 37-16 to the New England Patriots, their rival AFC East champions.

In early 2009, the New York team again underwent changes: Rex Ryan signed a four-year contract as head coach; Brett Favre announced his retirement; and the Jets acquired linebacker Bart Scott, Jim Leonhard, and picked quarterback Mark Sanchez from the 2009 NFL Draft.
