The New York Jets are a team that needs all the help they could get when it comes to winning games. The franchise is fresh off three consecutive seasons with five wins or fewer so they are desperately in search of any advantage they could find.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that that advantage is going to come from their cumulative travel distance.
Icelandic airline provider Icelandair recently did a study on the travel distance of every team in each of the five major U.S. sports leagues. To the dismay of fans looking for an excuse for their lowly teams, the study found no direct correlation between travel distance and winning percentage.
