- Broncos top winless Jets 37-28 for first victory of season
- Brett Rypien leads Denver to late win in first NFL start
- Jets start 0-4 in back-to-back seasons for first time ever
Melvin Gordon sealed the Denver Broncos’ first win of the season with a 43-yard touchdown run with 1:48 remaining, and the defense made just enough plays in the fourth quarter to beat the lowly – and still winless – New York Jets 37-28 on Thursday night.
Both teams came in looking to avoid starting 0-4 in consecutive seasons, but the Broncos (1-3) came out on top in a sloppy, penalty-filled but strangely entertaining game between two of the NFL’s worst teams.
