Just when you thought the New York Jets had things going in the right direction, they flip the script to the miserable past.
With a chance to boost their record to 3-1 with a game in London against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings next week, the Jets lost to the Denver Broncos, 10-9, at MetLife Stadium.
Denver won despite a first half that saw rookie quarterback Bo Nix throw for -7 yards on seven completions. The rookie from Oregon wound up with 60 passing yards, including eight on a TD throw to Courtland Sutton.
That play in the third quarter gave Denver a 7-6 lead.
The Jets countered with a Greg Zuerlein field goal but Wil Lutz hit the game-winner from 47 yards with 8:55 remaining.
Zuerlein missed a 50-yarder that would have given the Jets the lead in the final minute.
The kick is NO GOOD with 47 seconds to go.
