Without a win before facing off in the Advanced Math Day 4 Thursday night at Metlife Stadium, the Denver Broncos and New York Jets showed why they are in this situation. They offered a match marked by a lot of errors, approximations and mistakes. In the end, the Broncos had the last word, taking the advantage three minutes from the end with a kick from 53 yards from Brandon McManus. They then secured the victory two minutes from the end of a 43-yard run from Melvin Gordon who, after being blocked in the center, was able to make the outside to go score (37-28).

If the meeting has been so close for so long, it is because both teams have accumulated mistakes to “help” their opponent. On the one hand, the Jets have multiplied the faults of indiscipline, receiving many personal penalties, in particular on crucial third attempts. On the other hand, the Broncos made three interceptions, by their quarterback Brett Rypien, which gave additional ammunition to the Jets and allowed Pierre Desir to register a touchdown on interception return (51st).

Desir was forgiven for the touchdown he conceded to Jerry Jeudy in the second period (17th) where the Denver receiver came to snatch the ball from his head before going to score by chambering it. The start of the match had also been spectacular since Sam Darnold had scored a touchdown after an incredible race of 46 yards to open the scoring (7-0, 5th).
– –
Victim of an alert at the level of the right shoulder, Darnold was able to resume the match but could not do anything to prevent the fourth consecutive defeat of his team. This is the second year in a row that the Jets have started the season with four losses.
