The best way to disguise a flawed offensive line is by running the football, and the Broncos possess the seventh-best rushing unit in the league, averaging 130.2 yards per game. Remember, Denver’s run game needs to atone for last week’s abysmal 78 total rushing yards with just three first downs to show for it.
An a game that set offensive football back 50 years, the Broncos needed a 27-yard field goal by Wil Lutz late in the fourth quarter to pull off a 13-11 victory. The Broncos only had 71 yards in the second half, and Bo Nix was 4 of 10 for 49 yards -- but three points was enough in the second half to get Denver to 4-2 on the season.

Resurgent Giants led by rookies Dart and Skattebo face big test in Denver’s dominant defense
The resurgent New York Giants arrive into Denver behind rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo as they seek their third victory in four games.
The Broncos won their third in a row, but found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a safety in the third quarter against a Jets team that managed just 82 total net yards on offense.
After a nine sack performance last Sunday, the Broncos defense may be getting better with the return of linebacker Dre Greenlaw who practiced on Wednesday. Denver also looks to be better offensively on first and second downs, and stop the Giants two confident rookies.
Hunt's dedication to analysis of all levels of college and professional football helped go 88-67-2 (+1474) on all NFL picks over the past two years. He is also 18-9 (+805) on his last 27 against-the-spread picks in New York Jets games. Anyone who has followed him could be way up.
Yes, the Broncos defeated the Jets, 13-11, but the offense struggled to move the ball gaining just 246 total yards and scored just 13 points against a previously pretty porous defense. The Giants are feeling good about themselves.
