Broncos vs. Jets takeaways: Denver sacks Justin Fields 9 times as New York has negative net passing yards

The Jets finished with -10 net passing yards. Justin Fields essentially missed a wide open Garrett Wilson on 3rd-and-8. Then gets sacked on 4th-and-8 from the Broncos 44. Fields was sacked 9 times. 

Aaron Glenn passed on a 62-yard FG for the win, a game the Jets should have never been in. The Broncos don't play well at all, but they survive and improve to 4-2 while the Jets fall to 0-6.

7 sacks by the Broncos defense. The Jets have thrown the ball 15 times and dropped back 22 times, sacked 7 times. There's a reason why they don't throw. 

Wil Lutz hits a 27-yard FG to give Denver a 13-11 lead. Jets will actually have to throw the ball in order to win this game -- perhaps. All New York needs is a FG. Can Justin Fields do it? 

The 26-yard pass to Marvin Mims on 3rd-and-8 seemed to wake the Broncos up. Nix found Mims on a pass outside the hashmarks that got Denver deep into Jets territory. Jets defense has played well today, but they missed covering Mims there. 

Trail 11-10 with 5:47 left 

The Broncos have been just poor against the Jets, who have been ultra conservative in running the football and chewing clock. Denver will have another chance to try and win this game if they can top New York, who may go for it on 4th-and-1

This is just bad football. Not sure what is happening with either of these teams. 

The Jets are winning with 1.8 yards per play and 8 net passing yards. They have a safety and forced two Broncos takeaways.

This is more about what the Broncos are doing than what the Jets are doing, but New York will take it. 

The Jets run a 10-play drive, and only get 37 yards -- but it ends up in a FG to cut the deficit to 10-9. They then force a Broncos 3-and-out. The Broncos have been bad today, and would be losing to any other team in the NFL with the way they are playing. 

This was after the comedy of errors in the first half. Glenn's clock management is abysmal. No wonder the Jets are 0-5. 

This first half just shows the incompetence  of Aaron Glenn as a had coach. The Jets run a fake punt on 4th-and-1 with 1:04 left in a 10-6 game at the Broncos at the Jets 37-yard line. They get it, but they run a run play to Breece Hall, then Justin Fields gets sacks, and the Jets have no time outs. They let the clock RUN OUT after Fields throws a 6-yard pass and the Jets sit at their own 41.

Nothing further, the Broncos let time run out -- not even trying to get a punt return. The Jets get the ball in the second half, but this was comical. 

How Glenn is an NFL head coach I have no clue. 

The ex-Giants offensive lineman is starting in place of Ben Powers at left guard and has been awful. Three penalties for Peart have killed three Broncos drives, and leaving the Jets -- who don't have a first down -- in the game. All the [enalties are holding penalties, and all are in the first half. 

Ex-Giants offensive lineman -- enough said. 

Through four possessions, the Jets have run 14 plays and have 1 total yard. They have 6 points thanks to special teams and a takeaway on defense. This last possession they had -13 yards. 

They are averaging -1.7 net yards per attempt. 0.1 yards per play. It's as bad as it looks, and yet they are down just 10-6. 

Adkins was +8000 to score the first TD of the game. he had just two TD catches all season prior to that reception. If you actually put money on that, congrats to you! 

After miscues on offense and special teams, Sean Payton decides to go bold and go for it on 4th-and-5 at the Jets 47-yard line. This was after the Broncos faced a 2nd-and-20 just two plays earlier as a result of a holding penalty. They converted on a Bo Nix throw to Evan Engram -- and the offense did the rest. 

Nix found Nate Adkins for a 16-yard touchdown to give Denver the lead, finding him on a wheel route the Jets didn't see coming. Perhaps this is what gets the Broncos going, as Payton has a good feel for his team and what they are doing with the ball. That 4th down call was huge. 

Kene Nwangwu takes a kick 72 yards deep into Broncos territory, but the Jets go 3-and-out again. The Jets have 8 plays for 9 yards -- but they have 6 points and are leading.

This offense is bad, but Broncos mistakes on offense and special teams got them 6 points. Still early in this game. 

Denver fumble don its firts possession, which led to a New York FG. The Broncos then had just 28 yards on their 2nd possession, but Wil Lutz hit a 57-yard FG to tie the game up at 3-3 midway through the first quarter.

Bo Nix is 5-of-6 for 33 yards, but just like last week -- Denver is off to a slow start. 

The Jets didn't have a takeaway through the firts 5 games. They have to go across the pond to get one, getting a fumble recovery on the third play of the game.

Even funnier, broadcaster Rich Eisen said on the telecast the Jets didn't have a takeaway through five games. They get the takeaway on the exact same play. 

And it involves Justin Fields. The Jets aren't a good team, but have a stable QB in Fields, who is the 1st player in NFL history with 750+ pass yds, 200+ rush yds & 0 INT through 4 games played in a season.

And the Jets are still 0-5. 

The Jets have started a season 0-5 for 4th time in franchise history and the 1st time the franchise has started 0-5 since starting 0-13 in 2020. The road hasn't been good for Aaron Glenn, who is the first head coach to start his tenure 0-5 in Jets history.

Glenn is the first head coach to start his career 0-5 with 27+ points allowed in each game since Jimmy Johnson in 1989. The end result worked well for Johnson in Dallas. Can the same happen for Glenn?
