Brett Rypien throws his first career touchdown

The Broncos are not heavily invested in Rypien, as Jeff Driskel has already had a chance to play and, as mentioned, Bortles is in town too. But if Rypien can come out with a strong performance, it could go a long way toward gaining the confidence of his teammates and coaches.

Part of what Rypien can do to get off to a solid start is throw his first career touchdown pass. The Jets have given up five touchdown passes, and their defense has allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 75 percent of their passes — the worst mark in the NFL.

Rypien will have a chance to create chemistry with his receiving corps against a Jets defense that has been underwhelming, to say the least.
