While more than 40 days remain until the first regular season game, NFL preseason action begins in a week and there has been no shortage of compelling storylines and fiery exchanges out of the Jets and Broncos training camps. In recent years, both AFC teams have been among the NFL’s laughingstocks.
However, Denver and New York are expected to make huge strides in ’23 as the Broncos hired coach Sean Payton and the Jets landed four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback this offseason. In addition to Rodgers, former Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett enters his first season as the Jets offensive coordinator. And as luck would have it, the two sides face off early in the upcoming season in what looks like a must-watch game after this week.
While all things appear glamorous in New York, Payton recently took a few shots a Hackett’s coaching tenure in Denver as well as all the publicity coming out of New York ahead of the season. An overwhelming majority point to Russell Wilson’s struggles as the downfall to the franchise in the Mile High City.
