Teams of the Year In New York Sports, 1901-2019

Given that neither the Giants nor the Jets has a snowball's chance in an Arizona stadium with the roof open of making the Playoffs, I feel safe in awarding the 2019 title and posting this now.

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 only "win" 1968.
