DENVER – Sean Payton blistered his predecessor. He called his performance one of the worst in NFL history, a testament to the 15-game clown show in Denver.
The Broncos took over needing a field goal to tie with 2:14 remaining. After converting a third-and-15 to Jerry Jeudy, Russell Wilson committed a mental error. He tried to scramble out of trouble with 41 seconds left instead of throwing the ball away. Payton let him have it as he returned to the sideline. The ball was stripped out of his hands and Bryce Hall scooped it up and scored, ending the Jets’ three-game losing skid.
After the Broncos’ second straight three-and-out in the third quarter, the Jets continue to play conservatively, but effectively. Able to run the ball to create manageable third downs, the Jets moved into the red zone. Elijah Garcia’s sack halted the march, leading to another short kick from Greg Zuerlein to inflate the Jets’ cushion to 18-13.
The Jets struck back with their defense. Wilson held onto the ball too long in the end zone and the officials flagged him for intentional grounding as he heaved the ball towards the sideline. It resulted in a safety, shaving the Broncos’ advantage to 7-5. New York shaved the deficit to 10-8 on a 26-yard boot. More concerning was that Hall began to percolate, sitting at 59 yards on nine carries.
