Thursday night games are notoriously bad, but this game takes the cake. The winless Denver Broncos travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the winless New York Jets.
The Jets were pummeled once again in Week 3. This time, it was a 36-7 loss at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts. Sam Darnold threw two pick sixes and three interceptions overall. Head coach Adam Gase looked clueless once again and could be coaching his final game for the Jets on Thursday if they lose. That would be a best case scenario for Jets’ fans and a step in the right direction for the franchise. That is until they ultimately hire another poor candidate.
Denver lost Drew Lock in Week 2, which means Jeff Driskel was named the starter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Broncos scored 10 points in the second quarter, but that was all they could muster up. It was a 28-10 victory for the Bucs.
Driskel started the game but Brett Rypien finished it. The Broncos also have Blake Bortles on the roster. This quarterback position is going to be a mess until Lock returns.
The only way to look at this game is the fact that a bad football game is still football. Here are five bold predictions for this Thursday night matchup.
