New York Jets Jinx?: Top 10 "Cursed" Moments Since the 1969 Joe Namath Game | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Jets dumped Pennington for Brett Favre who had come out of retirement and was traded to the Jets. Fan's went crazy for Favre and made his jersey the top selling jersey at the time. 

Favre helped the Jets exceed expectations by leading the Jets to a 6-3 record. The real test, though, was ahead of him the next two games where he had to play the Patriots and the Titans.

The Jets, lead by Favre, would beat the Patriots in 34-31 in a thrilling overtime win and crushed the undefeated, 10-0 Titans 34-13.

These two wins put the Jets at 9-3 and lead to a frenzy of hype and predictions for Jets fans and analysts. People were talking about a subway super bowl, Jets getting home-field advantage for the playoffs, and many more predictions.

No one thought that the Jets wouldn't make the playoffs, but little did everyone know it was all down hill from there.

The last five games, the Jets went 1-4, and would miss the playoffs. Brett Favre would throw for 1,011, two touchdowns, and nine interceptions in his last five games in a Jet uniform.

It was later discovered that he suffered from a torn bicep during the last five games which lead to the poor performances.

He would then retire, but come back to join the Vikings.

But in Jets curse fashion, once he took off the Jets uniform, Favre had one of the best seasons of his hall of fame career.

He would throw for 4,202 yards, 33 touchdowns and only seven interceptions in the 2009 season with the Vikings. Compare that too the 3,422 yards, 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions with the Jets.
