1975 New York Jets season

1975 season of NFL team New York Jets August 2023 March 2026 New York Jets 1975 3–11 T-4th AFC East Charley Winner (2-7)Ken Shipp (1-4) Leon Hess Shea Stadium Did not qualify RB John RigginsTE Rich Caster Jets seasons The 1975 New York Jets season was the 16th season for the team and the sixth in the National Football League. It began with the team trying to improve upon its 7–7 record from 1974 under head coach Charley Winner. The Jets failed to do so, and finished with a record of 3–11, the worst in franchise history at the time. Winner was fired after nine games and replaced with assistant Ken Shipp, who finished the season winning once in five games. This would be the first of three consecutive 3–11 seasons, as they would repeat this win–loss record in 1976 and 1977. They tied the New England Patriots for last place in their division, the AFC East, but were awarded fourth place by virtue of their head-to-head sweep over the Patriots during the season. The Jets’ pass defense surrendered 8.12 yards-per-attempt (including quarterback sacks), the second-most in NFL history.https://archive.today/20121206012944/http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_5432_Ryan_Kalil_ad:_Carolina_D_not_up_to_the_task.html Cold Hard Football Facts: Ryan Kalil ad: Carolina D not up to the taskThe 1981 Colts are the only NFL team to surrender more yards per opposing pass attempt. One of the only bright spots was fullback John Riggins rushing for 1,000 yards in a season (1,005) becoming the first Jet runner to eclipse that mark. Riggins also broke the record for most yards rushing in a season by a New York Jet (breaking the previous record of 948 set by Matt Snell). Roster New York Jets 1975 0 11 J. J.
