Claim 3: “a Jets franchise that has not had a winning record since 2014”

DISPUTED

The claim states the Jets have not had a winning record since 2014. However, multiple independent sources (Irish Star, New York Amsterdam News, and a web search result) explicitly state that the Jets had a winning season in 2015 with a 10-6 record, meaning they have not had a winning record since 2015, not 2014.
