DENVER – Don’t cancel the Jets season just yet.
Gang Green pulled out a thrilling 31-21 victory over the Broncos here on Sunday to keep hope alive that they can make something out of their 2023 season.
The victory moved the Jets to 2-3 and kept them off life support.
A fourth loss with the Eagles coming to town next week would have made things grim.
Instead, the Jets came up with a huge defensive stop in the final minute to get a dramatic victory.
The Jets were clinging to a 24-21 lead when Zach Wilson’s only interception of the game gave the Broncos the ball with 2:14 left at their own 3.
They made it to their 41 when Jets linebacker Quincy Williams came screaming off the edge and got a strip sack of Russell Wilson.
Cornerback Bryce Hall scooped it up and ran down the Jets sideline 39 yards for a touchdown with 29 seconds left, securing the Jets win.
The Jets rode running back Breece Hall on offense and took out some revenge for their offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett over Broncos coach Sean Payton, who ripped him this summer.
