Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 10-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday:
Hero
Broncos running back Javonte Williams entered the day with 52 rushing yards in three games.
He had 77 Sunday, averaging a robust 4.8 yards per carry.
Williams had 35 yards on the Broncos’ game-winning drive that produced a 47-yard Wil Lutz field goal with 8:55 remaining.
Zero
The Jets’ offensive line was a sieve.
It couldn’t generate anything in the running game (64 yards on 23 carries), protect Aaron Rodgers (five sacks, 14 hits) and was responsible for four penalties.
A brutal day all-around for the group up front.
Unsung Hero
Courtland Sutton, Denver’s No. 1 receiver, was quiet most of the day.
But he came up big when needed, catching the game’s lone touchdown late in the third quarter.
He also had a 29-yard reception to keep the drive alive.
Key Stat
There were 15 penalties called against the Jets, 13 of which were accepted.
