Mile High Report
The Denver Broncos are coming off their best and biggest victory since Super Bowl 50.
It’s the type of win that builds a season into something special. The goal now is to ensure there are no letdowns against the winless New York Jets in London this Sunday. There is nothing that would spoil that huge win over the Philadelphia Eagles quicker.
Rightfully so, the Broncos are huge -7-point favorites over New York at FanDuel Sportsbook. The total sits at over/under 43.5, with a slight lean towards the over at -112.
For Denver, it’s all about leaving Tottenham Stadium with a victory.
Denver: Tenth in total offense (355.2 yards per game), fourth in rushing offense (140.6 YPG), 15th in passing offense (214.6 YPG), 18th in scoring offense (23.4 points per game).
NY Jets: Twentieth in total offense (319.4 yards per game), third in rushing offense (144.4 YPG), 28th in passing offense (175.0 YPG), 19th in scoring offense (22.4 points per game).
Denver: Fifth in total defense (288.6 yards per game), fifth in rushing defense (88.4 YPG), eighth in passing defense (200.2 YPG), second in scoring defense (16.8 points per game).
NY Jets: Twenty-second in total defense (347.4 yards per game), 27th in rushing defense (140.4 YPG), tied for 13th in passing defense (207.0 YPG), 31st in scoring defense (31.4 points per game).
Here are the MHR staff’s keys to Sunday’s game.
After a big road win, it’s natural for teams to “let up.” You just beat the defending Super Bowl champs in their building, and you’re now facing a winless Jets team. If ever there was a trap game for the Broncos, this is it. Don’t fall into the trap. Play in London how Denver played that fourth quarter in Philly. Don’t let up. Dominate New York in every aspect of the game and show that the win over the Eagles wasn’t a fluke. — Ian St. Clair
The Broncos got a much-needed boost of confidence with their big-time win against the Philadelphia Eagles. This week, they head across the pond to take on the New York Jets in London. The Jets are a 0-5 team whose play has been hampered due to turning the ball over. Through five games, they have turned the ball over eight times and have had at least one in each game. Denver’s defense hasn’t forced a ton of turnovers this year, but going up against Justin Fields, I have a feeling this game might be the one where that starts happening. If Denver can generate a few turnovers and capitalize on them, it should be able to handle the Jets quite easily. — Christopher Hart
You just beat the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in their own house to give them their first loss of the year. A good team will follow...
