EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) It was sloppy and downright ugly at times. It was a victory, though, and Vic Fangio and the Denver Broncos are relieved to finally get one - no matter how it looked.
Melvin Gordon sealed the Denver Broncos' first win of the season with a 43-yard touchdown run with 1:48 remaining, and the defense made just enough plays in the fourth quarter to beat the bumbling - and still winless - New York Jets 37-28 on Thursday night.
''Winning has cured more ills than penicillin,'' said Fangio, who was feeling the heat along with his team while facing the prospect of a second straight 0-4 start.
