The Denver Broncos had a bad day on Sunday. The Denver Broncos had an opportunity to go ahead or equal the score late in the game, but a sack ended all aspirations when Russell Wilson‘s possession of the ball was taken away, resulting in a turnover.
With less than a minute left, linebacker Quincy Williams sacked Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, taking the ball out of his hands, and cornerback Bryce Hall recovered it for a 39-yard touchdown. The play put the final touches on a 31-21 victory, improving the Jets’ season record to 2-3.
