The Jets have made 5 trips into the red zone.
All they have to show for it is 3 field goals.
Broncos red zone D has been a bright spot today.

737 rushing yards allowed by the Broncos over the last 3 games.
That is officially the most allowed on the ground by the Broncos for any 3-game stretch in club history (per @pfref).

Burn it down. Blow it up. Incinerate it. Steamroll it.
This roster ain’t close to good enough

The only Broncos player who should be safe is Patrick Surtain.

Russell Wilson just walking by Payton, after Payton was trying to talk to him regarding the fumble speaks volumes

The Broncos are 1-4 and they haven't actually played anyone but the Dolphins, who scored 70.
It's time to sell gang.

Hackett celebrating on the sideline like this is embarrassing lmao.
The jets literally just won their super bowl. 😂🤣🤣

Watching Nathaniel Hackett laughing and getting hugs on the sideline is making me want to throat punch everyone.

#Broncos post-game meal is crow.. And Payton should be forced to eat ALL of it!
Karma is a bitch!

Sean Payton is now 0-3 at home w/ losses to the Raiders, Commanders, and Jets.
“I’m gonna be pissed off if this isn’t a playoff team.”
— Zach Bye (@byesline) October 8, 2023
Broncos have lost 7 of their last 9 home games.
0-3 in Denver this season.
— Romi Bean (@Romi_Bean) October 8, 2023
Sean Payton is a fraud. He's the monorail guy from Simpsons.
— Blind Man (@BlindManBroncos) October 8, 2023
The relevant portion of the #Broncos’ season comes to an ignominious end after starting 0-3 at home under head coach Sean Payton.
This marks their 8th straight season without a playoff berth, extending the worst era of football in their #NFL history.
They’ll try again in 2024. pic.twitter.com/EsABQ7r9fP

Up next for the Broncos is a road game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. The Jets will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
