BRONCOS blow 17 point lead but hold off JETS for first Tie since 2013...
RECAP
East Rutherford, NJ- The Denver Broncos(1-3-1) got a ugly glimpse today of a future without Franchise Quarterback Peyton Manning.
Manning who is missing a few games with a shoulder injury was on the sidelines when the Broncos trotted out backup Brock Osweiller.
The Broncos(1-3-1) took a 17 point lead today at MetLife and things looked to be going in Denver's way. But the New York Jets(3-2-1) had other ideas.
The Jets mounted a second half comeback with Michael Vick at Quarterback after Rookie John David Booty went down with a torn shoulder.
Vick had 2 Touchdowns and 2 picks but Denver failed to score any points off the turnovers.
"That was our downfall." Broncos Head Coach John Fox stated. "Not converting points off those turnovers. We need to get points."
Broncos GM John Elway now has a ugly glimpse of his Franchise's future should Peyton Manning who was already struggling this year, hang his cleats up this Off-Season.
"We're not there yet." Elway stated. "Peyton will be back in a few weeks. We're worried about this Season first."
It appears Denver is not ready to look ahead of the Manning Era just yet.
The next 3 Weeks will give John Elway, John Fox, and Denver a much clearer picture when they go with Brock Osweiller and Zac Dysert at Quarterback.
It was 20-20 in Overtime with neither team able to put up points. This marks the first tie since November 24, 2013 when the Vikings-Packers tied at 26.
Jets Quarterback John David Booty will miss 5 weeks with a shoulder tear. New York shipped Matt Simms to St. Louis for a draft pick now has just Michael Vick on the roster.
Looks like a QB will be signed as Booty and Smith are injured.
