Merrick Shows Off Jets Pride

Paddy Power had a large turnout to cheer on the Jets as they took on the Steelers.

Paddy Power in Merrick saw a large crowd Sunday as the New York Jets took on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game. Jets pride was out in full swing and even as the game began looking dismal, Jets fans were optimistic. It seemed as if the Jets would do it as the minutes were winding down, but the Steelers were able to stave off a comeback rally. With a score of 24-19, Pittsburgh would be the 2010-2011 AFC champions, but that didn't stop Merrick Jets fans from showing their affinity for green and white.
