  • The history of the New York Jets American football team began in 1959 with the founding of the Titans of New York, an original member of the American Football League (AFL); they began actual play the following year. The team had little success in its early years. After playing three seasons at the Polo Grounds, the team changed its name to the New York Jets, and moved into newly built Shea Stadium in 1964. In January 1965, the Jets signed University of Alabama quarterback Joe Namath to a then-record contract. The team showed gradual improvement in the late 1960s, posting its first winning record in 1967 and winning its only American Football League championship in 1968. By winning the title, New York earned the right to play in Super Bowl III against the champions of the National Football League (NFL), the Baltimore Colts. The Jets defeated the Colts in the game; in the aftermath of the upset, the AFL was deemed a worthy partner to the NFL as the two leagues merged. Following the merger, the Jets fell into mediocrity; Namath was dogged by injuries through much of his later career. In 1981, New York qualified for the playoffs for the first time in the post-Namath era. They reached the AFC Championship Game in 1982; they were defeated on a rain-soaked Orange Bowl field by the Miami Dolphins. Beginning with the 1984 season, the team played in New Jersey's Giants Stadium. The team started the 1986 season with a 10–1 record, but the injury-plagued Jets lost their last five regular season games and relinquished a ten-point fourth quarter lead to lose in double overtime to the Cleveland Browns in the playoffs. In the following eleven seasons, New York had limited success, reaching the playoffs only once and enduring a string of disastrous seasons, including a 1–15 record in 1996. The following year, the Jets hired two-time Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells. The new coach guided the team to its most successful season since the merger in 1998; the Jets finished 12–4 and reached the AFC Championship Game, in which they fell to the Denver Broncos. The team made five playoff appearances in the 2000s, their most of any decade. In 2009 and 2010, the Jets achieved back-to-back appearances in the AFC Championship Game, losing to the Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2010, the team began to play in MetLife Stadium, constructed near the now-demolished Giants Stadium. (en)
  • L'histoire des Jets de New York, une franchise de football américain basée à New York commence en 1959 avec la fondation des Titans de New York (en anglais : Titans of New York), une franchise membre de la American Football League (AFL) qui a commencé à jouer l'année suivante. L'équipe a peu de succès dans ses premières années.

En janvier 1965, les Jets signent le contrat avec le quarterback Joe Namath de l'université de l'Alabama. L'équipe montre une amélioration progressive à la fin des années 1960, affichant son premier record gagnant en 1967 et remportant son seul championnat de l'American Football League en 1968. En remportant le titre, New York a obtenu le droit de jouer le Super Bowl III contre les champions du National Football League (NFL), les Colts de Baltimore. Les Jets battent les Colts lors de ce match. À la suite de la défaite, l'AFL est considérée comme un partenaire digne de la NFL et (en). Après la fusion, les Jets tombent dans la médiocrité, Namath étant gêné par des blessures une grande partie de sa carrière ultérieure. En 1981, New York s'est qualifié pour les séries éliminatoires pour la première fois dans l'ère post-Namath. Ils atteignent le championnat de l'American Football Conference (AFC) en 1982 et ils sont vaincus sur un terrain du Miami Orange Bowl par les Dolphins de Miami. À partir de la saison 1984, l'équipe joue au Giants Stadium dans le New Jersey. L'équipe amorce la saison 1986 avec une carte de 10 victoires pour 1 défaites, mais les Jets, diminués par les blessures, perdent leurs cinq derniers matchs de saison régulière et perdent 10 points au quatrième quart pour perdre en prolongation contre les Browns de Cleveland en séries éliminatoires. Au cours des onze saisons suivantes, New York connait un succès limité, atteignant les séries éliminatoires une seule fois et subissant une série de saisons désastreuses, notamment une carte de 1 victoire et 15 défaites en 1996. L'année suivante, les Jets embauchent le double vainqueur du Super Bowl Bill Parcells comme entraîneur. Le nouvel entraîneur guide l'équipe à sa saison la plus réussie en 1998 depuis la fusion et les Jets finissent avec 12 victoires et 4 défaites et atteignent le match de championnat de l'AFC, dans lequel ils tombent face aux Broncos de Denver. L'équipe fait cinq apparitions en séries éliminatoires dans les années 2000, soit le plus grand pourcentage de n'importe quelle décennie. En 2009 et 2010, les Jets réalisent des apparitions consécutives dans le match de championnat de l'AFC, perdant contre les Colts d'Indianapolis et les Steelers de Pittsburgh. En 2010, l'équipe commence à jouer au MetLife Stadium, construit près du Giants Stadium, aujourd'hui démoli. (fr)
  • La storia dei New York Jets inizia nel 1959 con la fondazione dei Titans di New York, uno dei membri originari della American Football League (AFL). La squadra ebbe poco successo nei suoi primi anni. Dopo aver giocato per tre stagioni al Polo Grounds, la franchigia cambiò il proprio nome in Jets e si trasferì nell'appena costruito Shea Stadium nel 1964. Nel gennaio 1965 firmarono dalla University of Alabama il quarterback Joe Namath con quello che allora fu un contratto record. La squadra migliorò gradualmente nel finale degli anni sessanta, terminando la prima stagione con un record positivo nel 1967 e vincendo il suo primo campionato della American Football League nel 1968. Con quella vittoria, New York si guadagnò il diritto di disputare il Super Bowl III contro i campioni della National Football League (NFL), i Baltimore Colts. I Jets sconfissero a sorpresa i Colts in quella partita e dopo di essa, la AFL fu considerata meritevole di fondersi con la NFL. Dopo la fusione, i Jets caddero nella mediocrità; Namath fu tormentato dagli infortuni per tutto il finale della sua carriera. Nel 1981, New York si qualificò per la prima volta ai play-off nell'era post-Namath. Raggiunse la finale della American Football Conference (AFC) dove fu sconfitta in un piovoso Orange Bowl dai Miami Dolphins. All'inizio della stagione 1984, la squadra iniziò a giocare al Giants Stadium in New Jersey. La stagione 1986 partì con un record di 10-1 ma seguirono sconfitte in tutte le ultime cinque gare della stagione regolare e nei play-off l'eliminazione dopo un doppio tempo supplementare contro i Cleveland Browns. Nelle successive undici stagioni, i Jets ebbero un successo limitato, raggiungendo i play-off solo una volta, mentre ebbero un disastroso record di 1-15 nel 1996. L'anno successivo, i Jets assunsero l'allenatore due volte vincitore del Super Bowl Bill Parcells. Il nuovo allenatore nel 1998 guidò la squadra alla sua migliore stagione dalla fusione delle due leghe, con un record di 12-4 e la qualificazione alla finale della AFC, dove persero contro i Denver Broncos. I Jets raggiunsero cinque volte i play-off negli anni 2000, il loro massimo in un decennio. Nel 2009 e 2010 raggiunsero due finali della AFC consecutive, perdendo contro Indianapolis Colts e Pittsburgh Steelers. Nel 2010, la squadra iniziò a giocare nel MetLife Stadium, costruito nei pressi del demolito Giants Stadium. (it)
