The Broncos did it again. A week after dominating the Buccaneers, 26-7, in Tampa Bay, Denver went into East Rutherford and pulled off a massive 10-9 upset over QB Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets had 10 days off to prepare and still looked rusty on offense in a rain-filled contest in the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon.
A week after their best performance of the young season, this was clearly the worst all around performance from Gang Green.
After having negative seven passing yards at halftime, it was clear that Broncos’ QB Bo Nix only got more comfortable as the game went on, especially with their ground game in the second half.
The biggest concern out of this brutal loss for the Jets is the health of Rodgers.
Late in the fourth quarter, Gang Green’s signal caller was tackled from behind by the Broncos’ defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who landed on his left leg, the same one he suffered a torn Achilles last September.
It was clear that the tackle affected Rodgers over the ensuing final four minutes of the game, as he was shown clearly in discomfort and limping.
The status of the four-time NFL MVP will have to be heavy monitored throughout the week, even more so since the team is flying to London in the coming days for their game in London, England next weekend against the very impressive Minnesota Vikings.
