The 1987 New York Jets season was the 28th season for the team and the 18th in the National Football League. It began with the team trying to improve upon its 10–6 record from 1986 under head coach Joe Walton. The season was marred by a players’ strike that resulted in the cancellation of all Week 3 games as well as Weeks 4 through 6 being played mostly with replacement players. The Jets finished the season with a record of 6–9.
