'From business endeavors to baby showers to family reunions, The Home Team: NY Jets will take viewers inside the professional and personal lives of these diverse, lovable couples, in order to show how family makes football possible,' the video streamer said in a press release.

A premier date was not announced.
The behind-the-scenes look could provide Jets fans with a unique look back at what had been a wild season for Gang Green, amid a coaching change, the ongoing drama with then-quarterback Aaron Rodgers and a season that went very differently than expected.
The Jets went 5-12 and led to a complete organizational overhaul at the end of the year.

The Jets had previously been featured on HBO's 'Hard Knocks' prior to the 2023 season and the organization has produced its own in-house docuseries, 'One Jets Drive.'
Along with the Jets series, Amazon also announced an untitled documentary focused on ex-wide receiver Terrell Owens.
That project will focus on Owens' rise as 'one of the most talented, accomplished, and polarizing athletes of America's most popular sport' while looking into 'his role as the preeminent 'prima donna' wide receiver of his era.'
Prime Video has had an increasing footprint with sports programming, which has included broadcasting 'Thursday Night Football' and, starting next season, covering the NBA.

Giants rookie Abdul Carter says Jets knocking him down will be team's 'only highlight' this season
Abdul Carter may be a rookie, but the New York Giants edge rusher is a seasoned veteran when it comes to talking smack. Carter had what some may refer to as a "Welcome to the NFL" moment during the Giants' second preseason game of the year, as New York Jets tight end Stone Smartt uplifted him with a chip block during the second quarter on Saturday night. And if that wasn't enough, Jets right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor took advantage of the Penn State product being on the turf, as he continued to keep him there with a couple of shoves while play continued. The NFL posted the play on X, but Carter was quick to toss a quip at the Jets after seeing it himself. "Might be the only highlight of the Jets all season [down arrow emoji] and we put BTA. Weak a-chip ate that mf like bbq," Carter wrote on X. Some X users weren't fond of Carter's comments on the play, telling him it's only a preseason game and not to take it too hard. But Carter's confidence has never wavered, dating back to his Nittany Lions days. Since the Giants took him third overall in April, that has been quite apparent as he gears up for his rookie season. Despite this lowlight, it's been mainly highlights for Carter on the practice field as well as the two games he's played for New York this preseason. The Giants and Jets had joint practices this week leading up to the "Snoopy Bowl" at their MetLife Stadium shared home, and Carter was impressive along with his defensive line teammates, according to reports. Last week, Carter played only a handful of snaps against the Buffalo Bills, an AFC East rival of the Jets, where he created quarterback pressure on all three, per NextGen Stats. The Giants are hoping the consistent pressure that Carter showed at Penn State translates to the NFL level, and so far, it's looked that way. But Carter may have just created some tension between these two New York franchises that only play each other in the regular season every four years. They last played in the regular season in 2023, where the Jets beat the Giants, 13-10, in overtime. The Jets have won the last three matchups against the Giants, though Big Blue took the previous five against Gang Green. Carter and the Giants will have their final preseason matchup on Thursday night at home against the New England Patriots.

Giants rookie Abdul Carter trashes Jets in fiery post after rough preseason moment
Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOW Abdul Carter is already a professional trash-talker. The Giants certainly hope he'll be as good on the field after drafting him No. 3 overall this year, and while all the signs had been promising entering Saturday's preseason game against the Jets, the Snoopy Bowl showed the 21-year-old still has a learning curve.

Giants rookie Abdul Carter (51) reacts during a preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 16, 2025. Rich Barnes-Imagn Images The Giants rookie fired off a spicy tweet in response to the official NFL account's tweet featuring a video of the moment. 'Might be the only highlight of the Jets all season⬇️ and we put BTA. weak ass chip ate that mf like bbq,' Carter wrote.

X/NFL Advertisement Carter had three pass rushes against the Bills in Orchard Park and created a quarterback pressure on all three, according to NextGen Stats. While division rivalries rule in the NFL and the Giants and Jets don't play each other in meaningful games very often, perhaps Carter's comments will add some tension between the two teams. They last played a regular-season game in 2023, when the Jets won 13-10 in overtime for their third straight win over Big Blue. The Giants had won the previous five meetings.
