NEW YORK - The NFL is investigating whether New York Jets officials ordered fans placed on either side of the 50-yard line prior to the AFC Championship Game against the Miami Dolphins. An unnamed groundskeeper informed TMZ of two industrial sized fans typically used to test airplane wing lift positioned behind both sidelines after the team's victory over the Dolphins.
The game was marred by muffed punts and crazy wind conditions throughout.
"We both had errors fielding the ball," Todd Bowles said. "This is just ludicrous, we need to be focusing on the Saints and not this bogus story."
Although the claim seems to be a stretch, there has been no communication as to why the fans were there in the first place.
"Look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist," Adam Gase said. "But I'd love to hear why they were there and what they are used for. Those gusts just seemed unnatural and not realistic at all."
Jets players have refused to comment.
Punter Loclan Edwards held an interview with a homemade tinfoil hat on his head mocking the story.
"Sore losers make up sour stories," Edwards said. "This is dumb. ET phone home."
The Jets play the Saints in Minneapolis Sunday Night.
We will have more on this story if any new information presents itself.
