Rookie Breece Hall ran for a 62-yard touchdown before leaving with a knee injury and the surprising Jets won their fourth straight by beating backup quarterback Brett Rypien and the punchless Broncos 16-9 on Sunday.TakeFlight
Denver starting quarterback Russell Wilson sat this one out with a pulled hamstring, missing a game for just the fourth time in his 11-year career. But the Broncos, who are last in the league in scoring, fared no better under Rypien, who was making his second career start.Zach Wilson was held without a touchdown for the second straight week, but he did enough to lead the Jets to the win despite his pedestrian stats: 16 for 26 for 121 yards.
Russell Wilson was ruled out 24 hours before kickoff and missed a game for just the fourth time in his career. Rypien's throw to tight end Greg Dulcich in triple coverage was easily picked off by safety Lamarcus Joyner, whose 27-yard return to the Denver 37 set up Greg Zuerlein's 33-yard field goal that gave the Jets a 13-9 lead early in the fourth quarter.That field goal was into the wind at the south end zone, the same direction that Brandon McManus missed an extra point following Latavius Murray's 2-yard TD run.
