A serious question. Have the Jets ever won 3 division games in a row before? - Jets Insider.com Forums

ARodFLKeysJetsFan · 10-04-2010, 12:53 AM

I was just thinking about this and I can't remember the Jets ever doing this before.

Somebody help me out here, have we ever won 3 division games straight (back to back to back) like we just did??

And don't forget, the last 2 [B]were division road wins [/B]which is that much tougher.

Are you talking 3 consecutive games?

They mentioned during the telecast it was the first time we started 3-0 in division since 2000. Not sure if thats what you mean or not though.

Yep just looked it up.

Our last 3 games in December was against Miami, Buffalo & New England and we won all 3.

Almost swept the whole division series that year except we lost the 2nd meeting with the Colts by 1 point. That's when the Colts were still in our division of course.

New York last started 4-0 in the AFC East in 2000.

yes. 1998

It was the final 3 games (week 15-17 against the Dolphins, Bills, and NE) we won to clinch the Jets' first ever division championship behind Vinny & the Tuna.

The only other time I know of is in 1986 we won 4 Division Games in a row week 3-6. Remember we had Indy in the division back then.

I meant back to back to back division wins but we did do it in December of the 1998 season.

So long ago I couldn't even remember.

Now that sounds like a rough childhood. LOL.

I do have some fond memories of the Ken O'Brien days, especially the 51-45 W over Marino and the Phish that year.
