It’s reasonable to think they aren’t much worse off now than they would’ve been if Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles hadn’t gone all Vesuvius on him.
Nothing much was at stake inside the crackling cauldron of a stadium. Only a football season. Only the razor-thin difference between hopefulness and hopelessness, the even slimmer margin between defiance and despair.
Russell Wilson had spent so much of this second half looking like a cooked quarterback, and the surplus of the 76,387 who were backing the Broncos had let him know about it. But now they formed a deafening sea of orange, a symphonic cacophony trying to deliver the home team to the finish line.
There was the hard-to-believe sequence at the end of the first half when Zach Wilson somehow forgot to throw the ball either out of bounds or into the end zone and so the clock melted away without the Jets even attempting a chip-shot field goal.There was the Jets’ final possession just outside the two-minute warning in the fourth, when Wilson was picked off by Denver’s Patrick Surtain when a first down would have sealed the game and a field goal would’ve given them a little more breathing room.
But on this day, there would be precious little breathing room, and not only because of the altitude. It was at 4:37 p.m. when the Jets had played their first snap of the season with a lead — actually, impossibly, it was the first time any NFL team that calls itself “New York” had played such a snap. It was a lead that lasted all of six minutes in real time.
But it’s reasonable to think they aren’t much worse off now than they would’ve been if Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles hadn’t gone all Vesuvius on him. Their season easily could’ve died a mile above sea level Sunday. It doesn’t. Hope lives. And so does a season.Will NFL MVP ever go to a defensive player again? We asked some votersZach Wilson and the Jets won their second game of the 2023 season on Sunday, defeating the Broncos by 10 points.
