Tebow Time! Denver Broncos Upset New York Jets 17-13! Are New York Jets Out & Denver Broncos In?
Tebow Time! Denver Broncos Upset New York Jets 17-13! New York Jets Out & Denver Broncos In? In the small hours of Monday morning, the Jets left MetLife Stadium as a humbled team, humiliated at home, on national television, with the AFC East lead at stake, by the rival Patriots, 37-16. It was not even their worst defeat of the week, and it was not close, either. That distinction belongs to their flop on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos, a fiasco that left the Jets panting and wheezing — and not because of the altitude. The 17-13 last-minute loss knocked them to the outskirts of the AFC playoff picture, a place where other imperfect teams reside, but none that have done more than the Jets to sabotage their own seasons. Even if the enduring memory is of Tim Tebow’s game-winning touchdown, which capped a 95-yard drive, the Jets did as much to lose this game as Tebow did to win it. Mark Sanchez, who directed an offense that was 3 of 14 on third down and handed the Broncos 7 points with a critical third-quarter interception, called his night embarrassing. Awful special- teams play — a fumbled kickoff, a shanked punt, a long return allowed — underscored a systemic breakdown.
