Denver’s 26-0 win on Sunday is in the books, and the team is entering week 4 with a perfect record (so far) following an undefeated preseason. It’s easy to get excited about this in Broncos Country, but safety Justin Simmons, who intercepted New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, is keeping his head screwed on tightly.
First thing’s first: Simmons broke his 3,328 consecutive snaps streak when he was sat out near the end of the game, likely to prevent injury. He’s not upset about it either.
“I’m kind of glad it’s over,” he admitted, noting that he doesn’t have to talk or be asked about it anymore, “More importantly, I feel like there is a little bit of individualism - I feel like there is a little bit of that in terms of that streak, so I’m glad it’s over and we can focus a little bit more on the team.
