In the Super Bowl era, the New York Jets have 12 playoff victories, good for 20th in the NFL. Considering that a number of the teams below them are expansion teams (Panthers, Jaguars, Texans), that number is lower on a per-year basis, but still not as low as one might think.
The team’s current streak of 11 years since its last playoff appearance is the longest in the NFL – by five full years. When talking about heartbreak and snakebitten franchises, the Jets are among those at the top.
Every year, Jets fans look for answers.
