The New York Jets are 2-4 in the 2026 season. Outside the playoff picture, 11th in the AFC. They have won 1 Super Bowl, most recently in the 1968 (III) season. Their last playoff appearance was the 2010 season and their last playoff win came in the 2010 season.
The Jets have the longest playoff drought in the NFL. Their last postseason game was the 2010 AFC Championship, a 24-19 loss in Pittsburgh, and they have now missed the playoffs for 15 straight seasons through 2025. That run included 2023, when Aaron Rodgers was lost four snaps into the season.
The only title remains the most famous upset in football history: Joe Namath's guaranteed win over the 18-point-favorite Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. The Jets have never been back to the Super Bowl, though they reached the AFC Championship Game four times, in the 1982, 1998, 2009 and 2010 seasons, losing all four on the road.
