It sure doesn’t look like Sean Payton is doing the opposite of what Nathaniel Hackett did last year in Denver. In fact, his team looks worse.

The Jets went into Denver on Sunday and won for Hack. He got the game ball in a 31-21 win and the team rallied around their offensive coordinator in the locker room after the game. The Jets needed to win this game Sunday to get to 2-3 and keep themselves in the playoff conversation. They did just that.

It was the Hall and Hall show. Mostly Breece, who ran for 177 yards, including a 72-yard TD run. But Bryce closed it out with a fumble recovery for a touchdown to seal the victory, doing an admirable job filling in for DJ Reed at cornerback.

It was a sloppy victory, but a win is a win. The Eagles come to MetLife Stadium on Sunday before the Jets enter the bye week, so this was a big one to secure. Brian Costello and I break it all down on a postgame episode of the “Gang’s All Here” podcast.
