Broncos Shutout the Jets at Mile High!

The Jets traveled to Denver Sunday for the first time since the 1998 AFC Championship Game (Jan. 17, 1999), a game the Broncos captured 23-10 en route to their Super Bowl championship that season. Head coach Herman Edwards has posted a 37-37 record as head coach of the Jets since taking over in 2001. Third-year QB Brooks Bollinger, who completed four of five passes for 26 yards, made his third career start for the Green & White. He left the game in the second quarter with a head injury and did not return.

When the Jets returned to the field, veteran QB Vinny Testaverde (15-25-152-2INT) took over offensive command in place of the injured Bollinger. Besides losing this game by 27 points, the stat that stood out in my mind was Curtis Martin running for 7 yards on 4 attempts. Even if we had Peyton Manning on the Jets, 7 yards rushing will not win games. The Jets played without the intensity they have shown in the past and I am looking forward to a top five draft pick come next season. Despite all the disappointing games this season I am still keeping up-to-date with my favorite sports team and if you want to, check this out!

WOW! I just wanted to say that I am a San Francisco 49ers fan and I have been cheering on the JETS all year. But the last two games it almost looks as if they are trying to lose. I need Reggie more than you guys! I do not need a QB in the draft, I got one last year. Will you please win one more game.

Its tough to see them do this bad, but remember "You play to win the game" We need Reggie more than ever.

well they arent gonna win next game agains the Dolphins I can certainly hope. Fins might have a chance of making the playoffs. Its alright the Jets will get Leinert then because Pennington isnt anything special.So there is still a desire to lose in NY, keep it up!

Well Greg, we both need Reggie Bush and it looks like it will come down to the wire. Thanks for posting a comment and I hope the Niners can see some good gains in the offseason as well.
