February 1, Hiring A Winner
Charley Winner, former head coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, was hired as an assistant coach under Weeb Ewbank and was named to succeed Ewbank as Jets head coach for the 1974 season.
October 21, Eviction Notice
Due to the Mets' presence in the World Series, the Jets were forced to play their first six games on the road. That included moving a home game against the Steelers to Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, leaving the Jets with only six home games for the season.
December 16, Sad And Sweet
Ewbank coached his last game after 11 years as the Jets' football boss, but his departure was overshadowed by O.J. Simpson in the Buffalo Bills' 34-14 rout at Shea. Simpson's 200-yard rushing game gave him 2,003 yards for the year, making him the first player in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a season.
