La temporada 1979 de los New York Jets fue la vigésima temporada de la franquicia y la décima en la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano . Comenzó con el equipo tratando de mejorar su récord de 8–8 de 1978 con el entrenador en jefe Walt Michaels . Los Jets terminaron nuevamente la temporada con un récord de 8–8.
Matt Robinson comenzó la temporada como mariscal de campo, pero se lesionó y Richard Todd asumió la mayor parte de los deberes como mariscal de campo mientras los Jets jugaban fútbol de .500 registrando un récord de 8–8 por segunda temporada consecutiva, terminando en tercer lugar. Con la temporada de 1979, los Jets se convirtieron en uno de los únicos tres equipos no expansivos [1] que no llegaron a los playoffs en la década de 1970 (los otros fueron los New York Giants y New Orleans Saints ).

Week 1: vs. Cleveland Browns[edit]
Matt Robinson was named starting quarterback for the Jets against the Cleveland Browns but hid a thumb injury on his throwing hand from three days before the game, until swelling forced him to acknowledge the injury to an angered Walt Michaels and team president Jim Kensil. The injury was treated and Robinson had the tape taken off late in the game with the Jets leading, but a Brian Sipe drive aided by a roughing the passer call against Mark Gastineau led to a game-tying Don Cockroft field goal; forced to play in overtime, Robinson's thumb swelled again and the result was a sloppy pass that was intercepted and led to the game-winning Cockroft field goal. Michaels seethed, "You work, you plan all week, and then the kid hides an injury from you." He refused to play Robinson the rest of the season.[2]
Week 2: at New England Patriots[edit]
The Jets were crushed 56–3 in a game where Steve Grogan of the Patriots set a club touchdown record that would stand until Tom Brady broke it in 2007.
Week 7: vs. Minnesota Vikings[edit]
The Jets beat the Minnesota Vikings 14-7 in the first Monday Night Football game broadcast from the New York City area.
Week 13: at Seattle Seahawks[edit]
Seahawks cornerback Cornell Webster blocked a punt by the Jets' Chuck Ramsey, leading to a Seattle score in a 30–7 Seahawks win. Following the game Michaels called out Ramsey in front of Jets players by snarling, "I can fart farther than you can kick!" [3]
