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 to be the biggest difference in the victory. The second-year quarterback was 19-for-30 with 174 passing yards. He was only fired once.
The Jets defense was able to record its first turnover of the season and force a holding call that resulted in a safety, but it didn’t matter much as Justin Fields led a putrid offense that failed to do much.

FRUSTRATED GARRETT WILSON GIVES JETS HEAD COACH AARON GLENN AN EARFUL AT HALFTIME
Fields was 9-for-17 with 45 passing yards. He was sacked nine times and only had 31 rushing yards on seven carries. The final sack came on fourth down when head coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it instead of attempting a 62-yard Nick Folk field goal. Fields was absorbed almost immediately.
Breece Hall led the game with 59 rushing yards on 22 carries. Josh Reynolds and Garrett Wilson each had three receptions. Reynolds had 25 yards while Wilson only had 13 yards. 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 had 1.5 sacks in the win.
