In the Broncos’ 16-9 loss to the Jets on Sunday at Empower Field, Denver had a chance to tie the game with a promising drive in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter. Here’s a breakdown of what happened to seal the defeat.
The situation: With two minutes left, the Broncos trailed 16-9 and faced fourth-and-3 at the Jets’ 25-yard line. Denver still had all three timeouts, so if it converted, they wouldn’t have to rush to score.
The formation: Shotgun, with trips to the left side (tight Greg Dulcich, Jerry Jeudy in the slot and KJ Hamler out wide) and Courtland Sutton on the right side by himself.
