(3:24 p.m.): Brandon McManus hits a 44-yard field goal — the gusts calming down during the play — to give Broncos a 9-7 lead. Strong play (3:26 p.m.): Thumbs up to the Broncos’ use of the tight ends so far this season. The bad news: They are still trailing because the Jets have a couple of really good running backs — including Javonte Williams’ college teammate. Breece Hall hurt (3:27 p.m.): Jets running back Breece Hall laid on the turf for an extended period of time. Another drive, another punt (4:25 p.m.): Throw another punt on the pile. (4:58 p.m.): This is all just setting up for a game-winning drive by Brett Rypien, and then Hackett (making up for the punts on fourth-and-1 this half) going for two to win the game. Cam Fleming injured (5:01 p.m.): Left tackle Cam Fleming is down on the field. Early departure (5:13 p.m.): Broncos fans left the stadium in droves after that play, but they are about to get the ball back with 90 seconds to go. And that might be it (5:19 p.m.): And mercifully, this one comes to an end with a Jets interception.

Live Coverage: New York Jets at Denver Broncos in Week 7 (Mile High Report)

The Denver Broncos will host the New York Jets at home in Week 7. Here are all the live updates from the game.

[Brett Rypien will get the start in this game](https://www.milehighreport.com/2022/10/22/23417900/broncos-russell-wilson-out-brett-rypien-to-start-jets). Our staff predicted that the [Broncos will lose again this week](https://www.milehighreport.com/2022/10/22/23418176/broncos-jets-score-predictions-week-7), but I disagreed with their collective assessment. [DraftKings Sportsbook](https://dksb.sng.link/As9kz/qqa5?_dl=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsbook.draftkings.com%2Fgateway%3Fs%3D341866674%26wpcid%3D163146%26wpcn%3DBlog%26wpsrc%3DVox%26wpcrid%3DOdds&pcid=163146&pscn=NFLRegSeason&pcrn=Blog&psn=Vox), I am covering all my picks this year on TallySight. 4:39 PM MT: Denver’s defense came up with a big stop after the Rypien turnover to force a field goal from the Jets. Melvin Gordon was named the starter, but you have to believe Murray will be the back the team features heavily in this game. If they can establish the run game, then the short passing game will open up for Rypien. They would convert a third and one to end the quarter just outside of the red zone. The Jets also lost their leading rusher with Breece Hall being carted to the locker room. 2:48 PM MT: Brett Rypien and the Broncos offense followed up with a 13-play, 75 yard drive of their own that was capped by two yard touchdown run by Latavius Murray to potentially tie the game up. It looked like a clear fumble on the replay, but Bill Vinovich ruled the play stands as called. However, a poor snap and hold caused Brandon McManus to miss the extra point. The 16-9 defeat shows that the problem in Denver isn’t Russell Wilson, but Nathaniel Hackett.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: 3 best trade destinations for wide receiver (ClutchPoints)

The Ravens should do everything they can to get Jeudy in purple before the trade deadline. The Ravens are yet another team that doesn’t have a star receiver, but they do have a couple of solid ones in Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay. Jeudy would make an immediate impact on the field and make Jackson very happy. What they do have is a star tight end, as Mark Andrews is one of the best in the game at his position. It’s also important to consider that Jackson is in a contract year. Jeudy wouldn’t revitalize the offense by himself, but he would be a nice addition. Saquon Barkley looks to be having a career renaissance, and the defense has quietly been very solid. The Giants have the second-worst passing offense in the league, averaging just 154.3 yards per game. With his name on the market, let’s look at a few teams who could provide him with that right situation. He started off with a strong performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, but was practically invisible in the next two games against the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers. They may be coming to grips with that reality, too, as the front office has With solid pieces on offense and defense, many expected Denver to be a playoff team this season.

That was back-to-back sacks for Jones to end the Jets drive. He stayed down in pain for a while, but was eventually able to get up and jog off the field under his own power. A pitch to Gordon on the next play picked up another six, but he was stuffed for no gain on second down. The Jets lost the toss and Denver deferred possession to the second half. With Russell Wilson out with a hamstring injury, Brett Rypien’s first pass was complete to Jerry Jeudy for about an inch after Melvin Gordon gained three yards on first down.

Denver Victory Would Give G&W First 4-Game Win Streak Since '15, First 5-2 Mark & 4-0 Road Start Since '10.

That's a double-edged sword for the two big-leg placekickers, the Jets' Greg Zuerlein and the Broncos' Brandon McManus. Quinnen Williams started on the DL and had no pass-rush numbers but was called for two penalties against "Ryp" — a roughing-the-passer and a facemasking.

Both are still with the Broncos, although only Jeudy will be in uniform Sunday with Patrick sidelined for the season due to a torn ACL.

If the Broncos hire a younger coordinator, Munchak and Zimmer would be ideal candidates to be brought on board as the top assistant.

[Denver Broncos](https://www.si.com/nfl/team/denver-broncos) do not have the makings of a playoff team. That doesn't make Hackett blameless, but it does indicate that if Wilson is wanting to run such plays, the Broncos need to stop doing that.

They got to the Jets 49 but Rypien ran out of any magic he had in his 2020 win at MetLife over the Jets and for most of this game. But the incompletion was enough and the Jets had finally prevailed a mile high. The Wilson offense was in run mode and didn't gain a first down, so punter Braden Mann came on and lasered a 72-yard punt into the far end zone. But with 1:24 left in the third quarter, the Jets took advantage of the game's first turnover. Their defense made any number of plays but still had trouble most of the way getting pressure on Brett Rypien, the Denver backup QB who stepped in for Russell Wilson, a late scratch with his sore hamstring.

Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets Final Score in Week 7 (Mile High Report)

The Denver Broncos offense might be the worst the franchise has seen in 40+ years. They lose 16-9 at home to the New York Jets.

Meanwhile, the Broncos The Broncos offense came out and predictably went three and out, giving the Jets a chance to extend their lead. Thankfully, the Broncos did not send another game to overtime where they would lose in heartbreaking fashion again. A Brett Rypien interception late in the third quarter set the Jets up with nice field position and looked poised to potentially convert it into a touchdown. That drive would ultimately stall just outside of the red zone, but McManus was able to boot the 44-yard field goal through to put Denver in front for the first time in the game. The second quarter belonged the Broncos both offensively and defensively. Brett Rypien and the Broncos offense responded well to this play with a 13-play, 75 yard drive of their own. However, the Broncos defense came up big on a third and one to force the field goal. However, from their own one-yard line, Brett Rypien made a good pass to Greg Dulcich to get some breathing room then fired a deep pass to Jerry Jeudy for a 45-yard gain. They forced three three-and-outs, but there was one play in the entire quarter that Denver didn’t dominate the Jets and it was this 62-yard touchdown run from rookie running back Breece Hall. A bad snap and handle would lead to a missed extra point from Brandon McManus, but the touchdown kept the game close at hand. [Denver Broncos](https://www.milehighreport.com) offense looked every bit as bad under Brett Rypien as it did under Russell Wilson, except the offense overall played a cleaner game.

It was an extremely impressive performance for a player in just his second game — and with a backup quarterback. He finished with seven catches (on 11 targets) for 96 yards. It was a game to forget for the backup. Despite having a backup quarterback, the Broncos looked almost identical to the previous six games offensively, and the coaching decisions were, again, highly questionable as the [New York Jets](https://www.si.com/nfl/team/new-york-jets) emerged victorious on Sunday, 16-9. Perhaps most glaring of all was Hackett's call on a 4th-&-3, trailing by seven, where Rypien's first read was a deep end-zone ball to Courtland Sutton that was broken up.

I'm sick of being up here saying the same thing over and over again,” Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett said. “The opportunities are there.

We have to find a way to win those games." "At the end of the day, we just have to win," safety Justin Simmons said. We just have to find a way to be more detailed and make plays." "That play, it's on me to go make that play," Sutton said. The DB made a good play, but it's on me to figure out a way to go make a play. We have to figure out what we can do to turn this thing around because I still think we have a good team. We've been struggling as an offense over the past few weeks — any opportunity we get a chance to make a play, it's on us to go make a play and find a way to make a play. We have to win these games. We have to make them. We have to figure out what are our best plays on offense. And in losing a 16-9 decision in Week 7, they secured their fourth one-possession loss of the season.

He got the ball to where he needed to and we were still able to generate a couple of scoring drives in the second half.” “That’s the coolest part about it now. We've got a little bit of dog in us.” But the Broncos (2-5), who are last in the league in scoring, fared no better under Rypien, who was making his second career start. We've been in every single game and we've got to win these games." New York also improved to 4-0 on the road. He didn't turn the ball over. The Broncos lost their fourth straight despite another outstanding defensive performance. He was helped off the field and carted to the locker room. He leads the Jets with 463 yards and four touchdowns on 80 attempts.

Denver’s offense would get one final shot after the defense forced a Jets three and out, but they’d have no timeouts remaining with 1:30 left on the game clock. After a Jets FG, the Broncos offense needed a touchdown, trailing 13-9 in the 4th quarter. Denver’s defense gave them the ball back after forcing the Jets to punt and Nathaniel Hackett pulled out an impressive play from his playbook. The Broncos’ offense took over the first possession of the second half but came up one yard shy on a third down play to Courtland Sutton. Shortly after that, Rypien unloaded a pass across the middle of the field to a wide-open Jerry Jeudy for a 45-yard gain. The Broncos’ offense started their second offensive series on their own 39-yard line after a Jets punt, giving them decent field position. Denver would have another opportunity to convert on a 3rd and 4, but a pass to Jeudy fell incomplete, resulting in Corliss Waitman booming a 44-yard punt resulting in a fair catch at the Jets’ own 13-yard line. Denver’s defense forced a quick three-and-out and would get the ball back with 1:30 left in the game and no timeouts. After a Rypien interception, Denver’s defense started out with their backs against the wall on their own 39-yard line. Denver’s defense would take the field again after the offense punted on their second possession of the 2nd half. After a Broncos field goal gave them a 9-7 lead, Denver’s defense took the field once again. The Jets would start on Denver’s 46-yard line after the miss.

Sources -- Broncos get trade calls on Bradley Chubb, Jerry Jeudy (ESPN)

The Broncos have received multiple trade inquiries about star defensive end Bradley Chubb and wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, league sources told ...

If the Broncos win both games and elevate themselves into playoff contention, they would be more apt to hold onto their players. Denver's direction also could be dictated by the results of its next two games. Chubb, 26, has 5.5 sacks in Denver's first six games, but he is in the final year of his contract and prices for defensive ends will continue to skyrocket.

5 takeaways from the Broncos' 16-9 loss to the Jets (Broncos Wire)

With Russell Wilson (hamstring) unavailable, Brett Rypien made the second start of his career against New York. Some fans and pundits half-joked during the week ...

If Denver isn’t able to get a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, the team should consider making big changes during the bye week. Mike Purcell and Nik Bonitto also recorded half-sacks on Sunday and the secondary held New York to 105 net passing yards. Already in a deep hole at 2-5, the Broncos might not be able to overcome their mounting injuries, making it even more difficult to salvage their season.

Twitter reacts to Broncos' ugly loss to Jets (Broncos Wire)

The Broncos fell to 2-5 after a loss to the New York Jets, 16-9. Twitter appropriately reacts.

If I’m new ownership I’m deeeeeply concerned about the interest in MY new product from the die hards themselves. Patrick Surtain II has been SENSATIONAL leading a pass defense with more Ints than Pass TD allowed. Broncos fans at Mile High barely showed emotion in the second half & tens of thousands left a one possession 4th quarter game. [@Broncos]defense ALWAYS gives them a chance to win. [October 23, 2022] As it’s been the past few weeks, Twitter has much to say.

Denver Broncos share some frustration after another brutal loss (Mile High Report)

"We get paid to go out here and find a way to win games. There are no poor me's... there are no pity parties about that."

We keep saying we’re right there, it’s going to turn around, it’s going to turn around, but to be honest...we have got to turn it around,” he said. As far as dividing—there is none of that because we stay strong for one another.” It hurts to say, but it is what it is. there are no pity parties about that,” Simmons explained, adding that a win against Jacksonville next week is crucial. There is no shying from that.” “We’re a team; we stick together. We have to hold each other accountable,” he said, noting that once they start to capitalize on opportunities, he thinks their trajectory will begin to change. I’m seeing a lot of tweets that are like “Well, now we know the problem isn’t Russell Wilson,” and I partially agree with them, but part of me is hesitant. WR KJ Hamler echoed this, saying, “We are never going to divide. They’re sticking together, win or lose, and they’ll share in the triumphs (whichever ones come) and defeats together. One thing is for certain, though; we have one of the best defenses in the league. After yet another devastating loss resulting from questionable (a generous adjective) play-calling, it’s hard to imagine things getting better without a major change in leadership.

4 thoughts from the Denver Broncos 16-9 loss to the New York Jets (Mile High Report)

The Broncos have scored 100 points through seven games. The only time they ever scored fewer through that many games was a 91-output in 1966. So since the NFL ...

I am excited to see him grow throughout the remainder of the 2022 Broncos season as well. If you factor in this is his second NFL game and that he missed most of the offseason, training camp, and preseason, it’s rather impressive. That’s a pretty good start to ones career and he followed up that performance with another solid game for the Broncos. Ideally, we would be viewing the Broncos as buyers in this situation, but that’s not the reality. This team would likely be undefeated considering how many games they have been in at the end despite an anemic offense. Could he help the Broncos net a first round pick back in return? The Broncos are not making the postseason and need to start looking forward into the future. They now have lost four straight games and appear to be on the brink of waving the white flag on this hugely disappointing season. If the Broncos continue to lose, which appears likely, they may decide to clean house. His questionable handling of Melvin Gordon’s benching and then calling him the starter a week later was a head scratcher. He just doesn’t have it and keeping him around past this season would be a major mistake. There is a lot to be frustrated about with this team.

Broncos stock report: The hits keep on comin' for Denver at running ... (The Denver Post)

Beat reporter Parker Gabriel takes stock of the Broncos following their 16-9 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.

Moreover, it’s been a challenging few weeks for Risner in general, both in the sense that he’s played next to three different left tackles in the past three games – the now-injured Garret Bolles and Cam Fleming and also Calvin Anderson – and dealt last week with a back issue. The Broncos have benefitted from Meinerz’ return the past two weeks and dodged a bullet when he was able to play through a plantar fascia injury to his right foot Sunday. And Risner’s the linchpin on that side as the team continues to look for solutions at tackle. The Broncos have a lot issues and not much has gone the way the franchise expected this spring, but the depth on the edge has been as-advertised or even better. Bonitto registered the first half-sack of his career Sunday and Cooper has done nice work the past two weeks after missing three games with a hamstring issue. It may depend on if Baron Browning has to miss extensive time with the hip injury he suffered Sunday and if Randy Gregory is ready to be activated off of injured reserve after the bye week or shortly thereafter.
