Passage: 1947: The playoffs were instituted with a three - stage tournament, similar to the Stanley Cup playoffs of the 1930s; the two first - place teams qualified directly to one semifinal where they played each other in a best - of - 7 series. Teams finishing second & third qualified for the best - of - 3 quarterfinals, where the two second - placed teams were paired in one quarterfinal, as were the two third - placed teams, and the two quarterfinal winners played each other in a best - of - three semifinal.

Title: Major League Baseball wild card
Passage: From 1969 through 1993, division leaders in each league advanced to the League Championship Series, with the winners of each LCS meeting in the World Series. However, an expanding number of teams over the years made making the playoffs increasingly difficult. The new system was instituted in 1994 (but first used in 1995 because a players strike canceled the 1994 playoffs) when Major League Baseball expanded from two to three divisions per league. In the new three - division leagues, each league had four teams in the playoffs. In addition to the three division winners, a wild - card team made the playoffs as the fourth seed. This was the team with the most wins amongst non-division winners. The wild - card matchup was played in the first round between the League leader in wins and the wild - card team, unless both teams were in the same division, which resulted in the wild card facing the second - best division winner in the league.
Title: NBA playoffs
Passage: Finally in 1984, the tournament expanded to its present 16 - team, four - round knockout, and the now - complete set of first - round series were expanded to a best - of - five. In 2003 the first round was changed to also be best - of - seven. (Thus all playoff teams from 2003 to present, same as the two Division champions in 1947 and 1948, continue to play at the close of the regular season without idle team (``bye '') and may be certain of four playoff games including two at home.)
Title: New York Jets
Passage: The team was founded in 1959 as the Titans of New York, an original member of the American Football League (AFL); later, the franchise joined the NFL in the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970. The team began to play in 1960 at the Polo Grounds.
