The New York Jets are an American football team. They are a part of the National Football League abbreviation (NFL).

The New York Jets started playing in 1960. They have won one NFL championship in their history.

The Jets were originally called the New York Titans. They played their games in the Polo Grounds. When they moved to Shea Stadium in 1964, they were called the Jets. That was a more modern-sounding name, and it also rhymed with "New York Mets", the other team that played its games at Shea. The New York Jets have won only one Super Bowl, which was famously guaranteed by their QB, Joe Namath, in the media in the weeks leading up to the game.
