Brett Rypien, Broncos survive Jets to grab first win of the season

It wasn’t pretty by any means.

In fact, it was incredibly sloppy all around.

But when it was all said and done on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, the Denver Broncos had picked up their first win of the season.

The Broncos, behind quarterback Brett Rypien, held on to grab a 37-28 win over the New York Jets.

Rypien nearly fell apart in fourth quarter

Rypien was having a decent day through three quarters.

The 24-year-old, who was making his first career start, had thrown for nearly 200 yards and had a pair of touchdowns to give Denver a solid eight-point lead headed into the final quarter — which they quickly pushed to 11 after a 54-yard field goal.
