EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. — When the rain finally ran out Sunday, the Broncos offense found some life.
Denver head coach Sean Payton said he thought the steady precipitation caught both teams by surprise.
“I don’t know that either team expected the weather to impact the game like it did that much in the first half,” Payton said after the Broncos’ 10-9 win at MetLife Stadium after a day-plus of near-constant drizzle and rain.
Quarterback Bo Nix, who regularly seemed to fight his grip on the football early in the game, agreed.
“Yeah, when it rains like that for that long period of time, it’s hard to kind of, I guess, get new, dry footballs out there,” the rookie said after Denver’s 10-9 win.
OFFENSE — D
Denver mounted an 11-play, 87-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter that featured the team’s first three third-down conversions of the day and finished with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Bo Nix to Courtland Sutton. Outside of that, though, it was tough sledding. The Broncos started slow offensively and just got worse through the first half.
Stat line: 11 for 25, 60 yards, one touchdown, five carries for three yards
Highlight: Nix conducted an impressive 11-play, 87-yard scoring drive in the third quarter to put Denver on top. He completed a 29-yard pass to Courtland Sutton on third-and-11 before connecting with the veteran wideout for an 8-yard touchdown pass — the first of Nix’s career.
Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 10-9 win over the New York Jets:
Un-Bo-Lievable first half: Denver has had 14 starting quarterbacks since Peyton Manning retired following the 2015 season. None played a worse first half than Bo Nix. He is a rookie. The situation demands context and patience. But it also requires basic competence.
For the first time since April’s solar eclipse—during which eleven states in the U. S. were in the path of totality—some will be able to see another eclipse this coming week.
This noteworthy event, called an annular eclipse, or a “ring of fire” eclipse, will be visible over parts of South America on Wednesday, Oct.
Just when the prospect of peace in the Middle East seemed further away than ever, the dramatic death of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah significantly alters the balance of power and offers a renewed opportunity for peace.
It is hard to overstate the significance of removing Nasrallah from the scene. He was a singular leader possessing a unique portfolio of charisma and strategic skills—in the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “He was not another terrorist, he was the terrorist.” His impact is a reminder that in an era where self-directed work teams, group leadership, and collective action are all the buzz, significant individuals can still have a profound impact on history.
