Denver’s offense didn’t have to do much in the game, but it was Bo Nix’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Nate Adkins in the first quarter that proved the biggest difference in the victory. The second-year quarterback went 19 of 30 with 174 passing yards. He was only fired once.
The Jets defense managed to record its first score of the season and force a holding call that resulted in a safety, but that didn’t matter much since Justin Fields led a putrid offense that failed to do much of anything.

FRUSTRATED GARRETT WILSON GIVES AN EAR TO JETS HEAD COACH AARON GLENN AT HALF TIME
Fields was 9 of 17 with 45 passing yards. He was sacked nine times and had just 31 rushing yards on seven carries. The final sack came on fourth down as head coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it instead of attempting a 62-yard field goal from Nick Folk. Fields was swallowed up almost immediately.
Breece Hall led the game with 59 rushing yards on 22 carries. Josh Reynolds and Garrett Wilson each had three receptions. Reynolds recorded 25 yards while Wilson had just 13. Andrew Beck, Mason Taylor and Isaiah Davis each had one reception.
Denver didn’t force any turnovers in the win, but it was the pass rush that did the damage. Jonathon Cooper had two sacks and Justin Strnad 1.5 sacks in the win.
