Teams of the Year In New York Sports

Note: The following refers to the calendar year. In other words, while the Jets' Super Bowl team would qualify for both 1968 (when they won the AFL Championship) and 1969 (when they won the Super Bowl), there is another candidate for 1969, whereas there really isn't for 1968, so the Jets "win 1968."
