Okay, so I was watching the game last night and this question popped into my head: “what team is New Jersey in NFL?” I mean, there are teams near New Jersey, but is there one actually in New Jersey? I decided to figure it out.
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up my browser. Gotta start with a simple search, right?
I typed in “NFL teams New Jersey”. The results were a little confusing at first.
It showed me info about the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Wait, New York? But the search was for New Jersey!
So, I scrolled down a bit more. Then I saw it – both the Giants and the Jets actually play their home games at MetLife Stadium… which is in East Rutherford, New Jersey!
I dug a little deeper, I wanted a clear, definitive answer, so I was going through various sports websites.
Finally, I realized the confusing point here. The teams are named “New York,” but they physically play in New Jersey. It’s like, they represent the greater New York area, including New Jersey. I guess that makes sense!
So, to answer my own question, there isn’t a team with “New Jersey” in the name. But, both the New York Giants and New York Jets play their home games in New Jersey. My curious question is answered! Problem solved!
