2015 New York Jets season

2015 season of NFL team New York Jets August 2023 March 2026 New York Jets 2015 10–6 2nd AFC East Todd Bowles Mike Maccagnan Woody & Christopher Johnson MetLife Stadium Did not qualify WR Brandon MarshallCB Darrelle RevisDE Muhammad WilkersonC Nick MangoldRB Chris Ivory Jets uniforms12.png Jets seasons The 2015 season was the New York Jets' 46th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 56th overall. The team improved on their 4–12 record in 2014 under former head Coach Rex Ryan. Under new head coach Todd Bowles, they succeeded in matching their previous season’s win count in just five games, starting 4–1. Prior to the season, the Jets made a number of moves, including, re-acquiring Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie, two cornerbacks who were instrumental in the Jets previous defensive success, and obtaining Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall in trades. The team regressed to 5–5, before going on a five-game winning streak, clinching their first winning season since 2010. However, it wasn't enough to make the playoffs, as they lost to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 and the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers, who also finished 10–6, clinched the final AFC playoff spot over the Jets based on a better record vs. common opponents. The Jets finished the season as the league's only team with a winning record to not make the playoffs, and as of 2025, this was the last Jets team to post a winning record. This was also tied with the 2020 Miami Dolphins season as the closest quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick came to making the playoffs in his 17-year career.

New England won the toss; however, instead of receiving the ball to give Tom Brady the first chance to score, the Patriots elected to kick. This caused much confusion for captain Matthew Slater, as he questioned after the toss if the team, because they won the toss, would also get to choose which end of the field they would like to kick. However, referee Clete Blakeman said "You elected to kick", and the Patriots were unable to choose which end of the field to kick off to, as in the NFL rulebook, the team that loses the coin toss gets to choose which end to receive the ball, if the team that wins the toss elects to defer. If the team that wins the coin toss receives, the team that loses the toss will elect which way to kick. The Jets marched right down the field to score the game-winning touchdown on their first possession as Ryan Fitzpatrick found Eric Decker. This turned out to be not only their last win over the Patriots until 2023 but also their last home win over New England until 2024.

This was also the first time since 2004 that one team defeated another twice in the same season and both games ended with the same score. The Jets also sought a six-game winning streak for the first time since 1986. It was also quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's first return to Buffalo since the Bills released him following the 2012 season. As of 2025, this remains the last time the Jets had a winning season.
