The 1974 New York Jets season was the fifteenth season for the team and the fifth in the National Football League. It began with the team trying to improve upon its 4âÂÂ10 record from 1973 under new head coach Charley Winner. After beginning the season 1âÂÂ7, the Jets won six straight and finished with a record of 7âÂÂ7. During the streak were home upsets of playoff-bound Miami and Buffalo, wins over the other division teams New England and Baltimore, and a victory over the crosstown rival Giants which was the first NFL game decided in overtime.
