So, How Many Teams Do They Have? It's a Numbers Game, Baby!
Here's where things get interesting. Depending on who you ask and how deep you delve into the geography of stadiums, the answer can be a delightful "choose your own adventure."
Technically Speaking (For the Statisticians Out There): New York State boasts one official NFL team: the legendary Buffalo Bills, reigning supreme in Orchard Park.
But Wait, There's More! (For the Casual Fan): Enter the New York Giants and the New York Jets. These two powerhouses hold a special place in the hearts of many New York City football aficionados. However, a plot twist emerges – their home turf is actually MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

So, what gives? Why the geographical confusion? Well, these teams have a long history in New York City, but stadium logistics led them across the Hudson River. Think of it as a bicoastal romance, but for football and with slightly less brooding than Twilight.
Here's the bottom line: die-hard fans still consider them New York teams, their spirit and legacy forever intertwined with the Big Apple.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Pro Tip: If you're rocking a Giants or Jets jersey in Manhattan, most folks will know exactly what you're repping. Just don't mention the stadium situation in New Jersey unless you're looking for a friendly debate.

Believe it or not, the Brooklyn Dodgers (yes, the football ones!) were a thing back in the early days of the NFL. Sadly, they folded in 1949, leaving a void filled by...well, more hot dog stands, I guess.
