I believe that I published some of these things before, although it was for baseball and basketball loyalties, as I recall.

The Jets distinguish themselves in a negative fashion, much like they have done this season (at least prior to last weekend). They are the only team that cannot boast a single county in which the majority has them as their favorite team!
Some teams seem to have huge, expansive fan bases, particularly the Broncos and the Cowboys! The 49ers and the Patriots also own a lot of territory, as well as allegiance from their fan base!
In any case, here are the links to the map and article:
