It was as ugly as we expected, but the final score favored the New York Jets.

Despite earning only 10 first downs and 260 yards of offense, the Jets escaped the Rockies with a 16-9 victory over the Denver Broncos. Greg Zuerlein accounted for a majority of the metropolitan scoring. The Jets (5-2) have now won four games in a row for the first time since 2015.

Four consecutive punts opened the game before Breece Hall broke the doldrums in style with a 62-yard run to glory that gave the Jets a lead midway through the first quarter.
