The Denver Broncos failed to deliver the Jets a Christmas present that Gang Green oh-so-badly wanted.
For much of Sunday afternoon it looked like the Broncos were going to upset the Steelers and do the Jets a solid in the process. But then Ben Roethlisberger led his team back against their AFC West foes, preventing the Jets from putting a cherry on top of their weekend that started with an (ugly) win 19-16 over the Cowboys on Saturday night.
Because the Steelers won and kept pace with the Jets and Chiefs at 9-5, Gang Green still does not control its own destiny.
