The '''New York Jets''' are an American professional [[football]] team. They are part of the [[American Football Conference]] (AFC) and play in the AFC East Division.
Founded in 1960 in New York City as an AFL charter franchise (and known as the New York Titans for its two seasons), it relocated to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 1984. They share the stadium with the [[New York Giants]], which until 2020 (when the recently-relocated [[Los Angeles Chargers]] and [[Los Angeles Rams]] built a new stadium for their teams) was the only stadium-sharing arrangement in the NFL.
==History and League Success==
Founded in 1960 as an AFL charter franchise known as the Titans of New York, it changed its name to the Jets after two seasons.
The Jets were the first team from the AFL (at the time considered the weaker of the two professional football leagues) to win the Super Bowl, Super Bowl III (which was the first such game to actually be called "Super Bowl"; previously the game was known as "NFL-AFL Championship Game"), led in large part by their flamboyant quarterback, "Broadway" Joe Namath who "guaranteed" a win for the team. It is their only win, and only appearance, in the Super Bowl.
After playing on Long Island, the team relocated to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 1984. They share the stadium with the [[New York Giants]], which until 2020 (when the recently-relocated [[Los Angeles Chargers]] and [[Los Angeles Rams]] built a new stadium for their teams) was the only stadium-sharing arrangement in the NFL.
