History of The New York Jets

1987 Jets

January 3, Erie Ending
In one of the most disappointing losses in their history, the Jets dropped a 23-20 decision on Mark Moseley's 27-yard field goal 17:02 into overtime after holding a 20-10 lead at the two-minute warning in regulation.

January 27, Hall Of A Wideout
Don Maynard joined teammate Joe Namath and coach Weeb Ewbank as Jets to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and to become officially inducted into Canton (Aug. 8).

September 22, Strike Five
The NFLPA began a strike following the Jets' 43-24 romp over the Patriots on Monday Night Football ended the schedule for the second week of the season.

October 25, Comeback Players
After Week 3 of the season was canceled and the next three games were played by teams of replacements, the NFLPA sent its striking players back to work for the remainder of a 15-game regular season. In their first game back, the Jets fell to the Redskins at RFK Stadium, 17-16.

November 1, Lucky 13
Flanked by fellow Jets Hall of Famers Ewbank and Namath, Maynard was presented with his Hall of Fame ring and his uniform number 13 was retired in halftime ceremonies of a 19-14 loss to Indianapolis.
