Technically no....it was the AFL Championship before the NFL-AFL merged. Since the Lamar Hunt trophy was introduced......Jets are 0-4 in the AFC Championship.
Jets will be 0-4 after this game......

It was a title game in their league to see who would play for all the marbles. Devaluing the game is nonsense.
I'm not saying that was meaningless.....but it wasn't the AFC Championship like you said. It was the AFL Championship.....before the Lamar Hunt trophy was introduced. They have yet to win the Lamar Hunt Trophy.
The best thing that can happen here is that the Steelers keep dominating and just make this game an absolute massacre.
Holmes finally shows up with 2 catches one for a 40+ yd TD. We MIGHT get a football game here yet if the Jets figure out at half how to stop the run
