Broncos are teetering on the edge of doom and need to beat the Jets to stay in mix. Russell Wilson told Denver7 he plans to play, but that remains a game-time decision. Here are TroyRenck's keys to a victory:
ENGLEWOOD — Words like inept, brutal, embarrassing have been used to describe the Broncos' offense over the first six weeks.
The Broncos boast a 2-4 record entering Sunday's home game against the mercurial Baby Jets. Denver ranks last in scoring and red zone touchdown percentage and 30th in third down conversions. You know, all the meaningful stats that define a play-caller and a quarterback. It has been a clumsy start for coach Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson — a baby giraffe on roller skates comes to mind — as the offense has no identity. Wilson, who told Denver7 Friday he is doing everything to heal his hamstring and plans to play, is on pace for career lows in touchdown passes and completion percentage . Wilson remains a game-time decision.
The flip side to the league's most disappointing team? They have been close in every game, something emphasized internally as the Broncos try desperately to execute a U-turn. In their four losses, Denver has been outscored by 16 points. Can the Broncos, on a weekend they are honoring the Super Bowl XXXII championship team, shake this malaise?Who are the Broncos offensively? They are not doing anything particularly well. Some have suggested,"Broncos Country, Let's Ryp!" as a solution. That playing backup quarterback Brett Rypien would offer Wilson a chance to recover, while letting Rypien assume the role of Dallas' Cooper Rush.
