Broncos Report Card: Defense leads the way in shutout of Jets

Corona Dead

Offense — B

It was an efficient-but-unspectacular game for the Broncos’ offense, which was the requirement against the Jets. The Broncos gained 344 yards, including a season-high 121 rushing (although only 3.3-yard average) and one touchdown apiece from tailbacks Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was 19 of 25 for 235 yards and enters October without an interception. Receivers Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton had five catches on five targets apiece and minus Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and possibly KJ Hamler (knee), the focus will be on Sutton and Patrick. Left guard Dalton Risner (foot) and right guard Graham Glasgow (knee) were unable to finish the game. Williams’ goal-line fumble in the fourth quarter was one of the few negatives.

Defense — A

A shutout is a shutout is a shutout, right? The Broncos skunked an opponent for the second time in coach Vic Fangio’s two-plus years; the first was 16-0 over Tennessee, which brought about the end of the Marcus Mariota Era. The Jets didn’t cross 100 yards offense until the final minute of the third quarter and the pass rush got going after being semi-quiet in Weeks 1-2. The Broncos sacked Zach Wilson five times, including two by inside linebacker Alexander Johnson. Interceptions by safeties Justin Simmons and Caden Sterns moved the Broncos to a plus-3 turnover ratio through three games. Life without inside linebacker Josey Jewell (out for the year following pectoral surgery) and outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (out at least a month following ankle surgery) couldn’t have gone much better.

Special teams — B

Kicker Brandon McManus made field goal kicks of 45, 47, 21 and 36 yards and both of his extra-point attempts. Punter Sam Martin had a 26-yard net punt that appeared to be partially blocked, which limited his net average to 40.7 yards. Dionte Spencer had two punt returns for 16 yards. Overall, as the special teams introduced inside linebacker Micah Kiser and re-introduced fullback/tight end Andrew Beck (inactive in Weeks 1-2), the Broncos took a step forward instead of another step backward. The Broncos may have to evaluate their punt return options if Spencer is forced to play more at receiver.

Coaching – B

The 26-point margin of victory was the Broncos’ largest since a 45-10 Thursday night win at Arizona in 2018. That Cardinals team was bad; this Jets team may be worse. But the Broncos’ offensive coaches emphasized the running game (37 attempts for 121 yards), even against stacked Jets fronts. On defense, the Broncos forced Zach Wilson into 19-of-35 passing for only 160 yards, two interceptions and a 42.6 rating. The Broncos didn’t blitz a ton, but coach Vic Fangio picked the right times. Entering a meaty part of their schedule, the coaches will be challenged to come up with more explosive plays offensively, the same kind of consistency the defense has showed in Weeks 1-3 and coaching up young players who will be called to start.
