Jets owner congratulates Giants on Super Bowl win

BY NICK ST. DENIS

The relationship between Jets coach Rex Ryan and select Giants players may not be in good standing, but that doesn't apply to the New York teams' respective front offices.

Jets owner Woody Johnson released the following statement following the Giants' Super Bowl victory over the Patriots Sunday:

“On behalf of the New York Jets, I would like to congratulate the Mara and Tisch families, Coach Coughlin and the entire New York Giants organization," Johnson said.

"It was a closely contested game that showcased all of the best elements that our sport has to offer. The Giants demonstrated poise and resolve in earning a hard-fought victory in Super Bowl XLVI."

Johnson is relatively close with the Giants' leaders given the fact that the trio shares Met Life Stadium. Johnson also commented on the division rival Patriots.

"Also, I want to congratulate the Kraft family, Coach Belichick and the New England Patriots on a tremendous effort and an excellent season," he said.
