While both the Broncos and Jets have the same number of days to prepare for Thursday night’s contest, Denver got a seven-hour head start over New York by way of the team’s 11 a.m. MST kickoff on Sunday. The Jets played a Sunday Night game against the Patriots that didn’t kick off until 6:20 p.m. MST.
The Jets saw their three-game win streak snapped by the visiting Patriots, who earned the season series sweep with a 37-16 victory on Sunday night.
Both defenses controlled play in the first half, with the only touchdown coming on a Mark Sanchez quarterback sneak in the final minutes of the half. New England jumped out to a 6-0 lead on a pair of field goals, but the Jets defense put points on the board by forcing quarterback Tom Brady to take an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone, resulting in a safety. After the Sanchez touchdown run, Brady led the Patriots on a scoring drive, connecting with tight end Rob Gronkowski with nine seconds to play in the first half, giving New England a 13-9 advantage at the break.
The Patriots scored 10 unanswered points in the third quarter before Sanchez connected with wide receiver Plaxico Burress on a seven-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter to bring the Jets back within one score at 23-16.
New England ended the game with back-to-back touchdowns and kept the Jets off the board to earn the 37-16 victory.
Running backs Shonn Green and LaDanian Tomlinson combined for 99 yards on 20 carries, while Sanchez completed 20-of-39 passes for 306 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
The Patriots were able to get heavy pressure on Sanchez throughout the game, totaling five sacks and nine hits against the third-year quarterback.

Dear Denver Broncos,
The Jets are talking A LOT of trash for a team that has only won one more game than we have. They scored 16 points against the worst defense in the league. Let’s play with some pride (like you already have) tomorrow night and beat them at their own physical style of football. Let’s clobber their quarterback. Let’s punish their aggressiveness on defense with our zone blocking scheme, and then punch them in the mouth with the power o when they hold back. These guys think it’s all about read option with us. Let’s show them that we have the most complex running attack in the league, and then air it out as needed. I know no one in the locker room has forgotten what happened the last time we were home. These guys want to embarrass us again. They are not an elite team this season. 5-4 is not an elite record. Lets wear these punks out in Mile High and show them what it really means to be a tough football team! When you’re done they’ll be 5-5 like we are, wondering how they got beat by the Broncos.
Sincerely,
A fanatical fan
GO BRONCOS
They ARE talking a lot of trash! With the exception, oddly enough, of Rex. I would love nothing more than to see another beautiful Tebow to Decker bomb to torch Revis and shut that mouth of his! That, or watch Tebow STEAMROLL Revis. Maybe that would keep him from being bored. I can’t stand the Jets.
Let the Jets keep talking and flapping their jaws. Let our Broncos talk with their shoulder pads and helmets. That’s a main reason I don’t like the Jets, too much trash talking.
same here more because all those rings rex has won with the jets. lol! this is a good game for the broncos to redeem them selfs of that depressing game againts the lions. lets go denver!!!
broncos win clearly, tebow is better from game to game,and defensive makes everything flat.GO BRONCOS GO TEBOW

Is it the blue and orange squirrel? LOL.
I’m impressed, someone paid for these things actually picked us to beat the Jets! Pete Schrager from Foxsports is predicting 20-16 in our favor for tomorrow’s game. I’ve got to say that I didn’t see that coming. I figured that all the talking heads have us automatically slated fro losses all season simply because we have Tebow and don’t play Indy.
I was curious to see what Mario Fannin could do, too bad he got hurt.
Maybe JJ has something to show. Next man up!
I think plenty of aspects favor the broncos this game.
Punch em in the mouth and run all up and down their arrogant @$$*$.
I liked Jeremiah Johnson during preseason. I hope he gets a few carries tomorrow, because I think that he’ll excel given the chance.
The last 2 weeks I have predicted Denver to lose, and they have wound up winning. That is 2 weeks in a row where I have never been happier to be wrong. I want to predict a win tomorrow, but I don’t want to break the trend. Call me superstitious lol. I would rather have Bronco wins as opposed to points in the score prediction contest.
Jets – 21
Broncos – 20
No Ladanian Tomlinson tomorrow And I think McGahee will start and Our D is way better than NE, my prediction for the jets tomorrow….PAIN! SANCHEZ 4 SACKS 9 HURRIES 10 HITS OR MORE 2 PICS I hope….9-7 wins the west GROUND THAN POUND THE J E T S…GO BRONCOS MAKE EM BLEED BLUE AND ORANGE.
First time on the comment board but I have been reading your comments for some time now. Wanted to respond to the comments about JJ. As a Eugenean, I have seen JJ first hand and he is very fast, but surprisingly strong. Remember, he made all of his yards in the read option offense here in Duckville. He would be an excellent choice in this offense. I hope Coach Fox gives him a chance.
