Bo Nix didn’t like the call. Eight New York Jets showed pressure against just five available Broncos blockers, with the rest of Nix’s arsenal split out wide as Denver looked for a spark deep in its own territory. So Nix killed the play, checked into a run, and chaos ensued.
Tight end Evan Engram, in the slot, pointed around in confusion before nodding at Marvin Mims Jr. Mims went to go block Engram’s man before realizing he had it taken care of, and then started sprinting downfield as if the play would pop. Rookie Pat Bryant, split out wide, had his hands outstretched in confusion for six full seconds before the ball was actually snapped.
