1982 season of NFL team New York Jets
The 1982 New York Jets season was the 23rd season for the franchise and its 13th in the
National Football League . It began with the team trying to improve upon its 10–5–1 record from 1981 and return to the playoffs under head coach
Walt Michaels . The season was marred by an eight-week players’ strike, cancelling eight scheduled games (one game was made up at the end of the season), and eliminating divisional play for the season; the top eight teams from each conference advanced to the playoffs. The Jets finished the season with a record of 6–3 in sixth place in the
American Football Conference . They defeated
the Cincinnati Bengals 44–17 and
Los Angeles Raiders 17–14 in the first two rounds of the
playoffs to advance to their first
AFC Championship Game . There, they fell to their division rivals,
the Miami Dolphins , 14–0.
