The New York Jets are going to hold more than just a rest advantage over the Denver Broncos this week.
Despite some key contributors on defense missing for their Thursday Night Football matchup against their AFC East rivals, the Jets got the job done convincingly. A 24-3 victory followed up a 24-17 win just four days earlier.
That mini bye week New York has will give them a distinct rest advantage over the visiting Broncos, who enter the game with some positive momentum of their own.The Broncos stayed at Greenbriar Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. However, their practice schedule this week has been abbreviated because of the inclement weather Hurricane Helene has brought to the southeast portion of the United States.
Greenbriar has two grass football fields and one turf field, but they are all outdoors. There are no indoor fields, which meant Friday’s practice was held on an indoor tennis court on the grounds."This is a first ,'' Denver linebacker Cody Barton said. "They've got some pickle ball courts down there too, but yeah, this is a first for me.''
"Maybe a basketball court, a ballroom, but this is a first time on a tennis court,'' Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds added. Not only was their practice schedule impacted, as was the travel itinerary. As shared by Uggetti, “The team's travel plans changed with the weather as well Friday as instead of traveling to New Jersey from the nearest airport, they bused to Roanoke, Va., for their chartered flight.”were set to have their preseason home opener on Friday night but that has been pushed back to October 7th.
