1982 New York Jets: A Look Back Concludes……….

Alan Schechter — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:50:40 +0000

AJ Duhe nearly beats the Jets by himself with 3 INT’s.

We have been chronicling all year long, the anniversary of the 1982 New York Jets. We have said all along that this was a great year, but almost special. Today, we talk about why it was almost special.

30 years ago today, the Jets took on the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Championship game at the Orange Bowl in Miami. There was quite a bit of rain in the Miami area during the week leading up to this game. The Jets, at the time, were known for their speedy offensive weapons, so to counteract that, Don Shula had his field left uncovered, so it would become muddy and slow the Jets down. There was no rule about covering the field at the time, but one was instituted following that game.

As you will see below, Shula’s plan worked, as Richard Todd threw 5 INT’s, 3 to AJ Duhe(pictured), as the Dolphins earned a Super Bowl berth. Take a look.

1982 New York Jets: A Look Back Continues……………

Alan Schechter — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Wesley Walker recorded 7 catches for 169 yards and 1 TD in the Jets playoff win over the Raiders.

We have gotten away from this look back with the search for a general manager and an offensive coordinator going on. Now, with those processes complete, let’s get back to the almost special season of 1982.

Last we left the 1982 Jets, they had beaten the Bengals in the Wild Card game, to move on to the divisional playoff. The date is January 15, 1983, and the Jets travelled to the L.A. Coliseum to face Marcus Allen and the Los Angeles Raiders in the Divisional Playoff. Take a look:

Freeman McNeil rushed for 202 yards in the Jets Wild Card win over the Bengals.

We continue our look back at the 1982 season. On this date in 1982, the Jets opened their playoff run at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati as the Jets brought their strike-shortened 6-3 record in to face the 7-2 Bengals. The Bengals were favored by 4 to send the Jets home, but that is not what happened. Not by a long shot, take a look:
