The Broncos will host the New York Jets in a primetime matchup on Thursday night on NFL Network. It marks the second consecutive season that the Jets have traveled to Denver and the 33rd regular-season meeting between the clubs. The Jets narrowly edge the Broncos 24-20 last season.
Denver leads the all-time series 16-15-1, with a 9-8 advantage in the Mile High City.
The teams have met once in the postseason, with the Broncos earning a 23-10 victory in the AFC Championship game on Jan. 17, 1998. Denver would go on to win Super Bowl XXXII the next week.
Notable performances against the Jets:
RB Willis McGahee: In eight career games against the Jets, McGahee is averaging 100 rushing yards per game. He has topped the 100-yard rushing mark five times against the Jets — the most 100-yard games he has recorded against any opponent.
CB Champ Bailey: Has registered one interception along with four pass breakups and one forced fumble in his career against the Jets.
DE Elvis Dumervil: Posted one sack and a forced fumble in his only career game against the Jets (10/30/08).
CB Andre’ Goodman: Picked off two passes and forced a fumble against the Jets on Dec. 28, 2008 while playing for the Dolphins.
DE Jason Hunter: Recorded his first career interception in last season’s game against the Jets and returned it 14 yards.
Denver-New York Jets Roster Connections
Some interesting roster connections between the Broncos and Jets courtesy of research done by Public Relations Intern Cydney Ricker:
Jets wide receiver Eron Riley started the season on the Broncos practice squad before New York signed him to its active roster on Oct. 19.
Broncos running back Willis McGahee and wide receiver Eron Riley played for Baltimore while Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan, Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine, linebacker Bart Scott and safety Jim Leonhard were with the Ravens.
Jets Running Backs Coach Anthony Lynn was a running back for the Broncos in 1993 and returned to Denver for the 1997-99 seasons. He later rejoined the franchise as a coach from 2000-02 as an offensive assistant/assistant special teams coach.

Beer cooler first and foremost, if you lose the first aid kit you can always survive it, but lose the beer and all is gone, ask BFE, LMAO!
Classic top of the page post!
I sure don`t want to be in the WOS again. Thats double dipping. LOL
Anyway, there is a Bubba blog up for the ones who rather be serious.
LMAO, BFE will get a kick out of that one.
Lots of adrenaline. right now we are at our best.
Come on McGahee!
Well, you have to remember I’m getting healthier.
That you are! Bring out those Micro beers. HaHa!!
Yeah, I have a plan laid out for tonight and micro brews are involved.
I`m heading to a sports bar called 1st and 10. Really cool place.
I’m doing it home and I have a 6 pack of Titan IPA from the Great Divide brewery Co. in Denver, talk about putting me in the right mood for a Denver Bronco game…
I’m ready to get off work and go home and watch the Broncos win.
all this talk of beer is killing me.
I’m thinking Hot Wings and some Sam Adams
Sam Adams, talking like a true NorthEasterner I take it.
Heck yeah, The Denver altitude kind of thing. LOL
I`m not much of a Sam Adams guy.
You mean the Denver attitude kind of thing, haha.
Sam Adams is too dry for my taste, no matter which one.
It’s no wonder you see the games differently than I do!!!! I’m cooold sober!
Oops – killed the blog again!
We’ll see if your 35-17 is worthy of your sobriety, LOL.
nope, I’m in Denver, just like to mix it up a little with what I drink. This week Sam Adams, next week maybe Guiness!
All the way East then…
Bay – that’s the reason I don’t need to drink! Haha – I’m having way too much fun.
C’mon Broncos – stick ‘em with 35!!! LOL
I like a Honey Wheat once in a while.
Daddy`s to busy to even drink. LOL
GO ORANGE AND BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, too busy drinking the orange kool aid, haha.
LOL! Crazy!
At least the koolaid is orange!
An hour and a half to the game and I’m still on pure club soda, just saying, and I think it’s clear I had tons of fun here this pm, however come game time I stop blogging and get down with the game and a few beers, usually not enough to forget any of the plays, but enough to make me forget if I need to, LOL.
Is kickoff at 6:15?
6:20 pm MTN time, 7:20 pm for me.
I don`t get it how bloggers can blog during the game. I have to have my full attention during the game from kiickoff until the clock reads zero. Thats complete fun for me. If I`m blogging during a game, wouldn`t that be distracting. I want to see every action on the field, from the refs to every detail. Just saying how does one do that, blog while watching.
Cool, thanks.
I’m with you 100% strand, blogging during the game would take most of the fun of watching the game away for me.
I’ll drink and watch the game well before I’ll ever blog and watch the game, LMAO!
My computor is in the Basement and my tvs are all in the 2nd and 3rd levels. It`s by design. HaHa!!
I’ve tried taking notes and watching the game for blog purposes and I don’t even like that.
Does your wife watch it with you when your at home?
You live in a mansion?
If I`m at home I`ll say a thing or two during halftime and thats it.
She did when she first went out with me many times trying to hook the big fish, but now that she has she has never watched a Bronco game sice we’ve been married, dead serious, LOL.
since
Kind of. I`m taking care of my dad at my parents house. He had a stroke ahile back. My mother asked me for help. And with my devorce a few years ago, I thought Why not. I`m happy too.
Life is good Bay! I`m still wanting to hook a good gal. Talk about patience bro. Man oh man.
It looks like they are ready to post the next 162 game blogs.
That’s very kind of you strand.
Koolaid is sweeet!!!
