Jets vs. Broncos Thursday Night Football: Both Teams Failing to Produce Yards, Points

If you're tuning in for an offensive slugfest, you tuned into the wrong game.

In a game that has been heavily dictated by field position, the game has seen a total of five three and outs.

At halftime, the score stands at 3-3.

The Broncos started off hot with their read option attack, moving the ball 59 yards downfield on their first drive, before turning the ball over on downs on a 4th and 1.

The Broncos have run the ball 17 times for a collective total of 35 yards.

The Jets haven't fared any better, rushing for 32 yards.

The Broncos have had the ball offensively past midfield on four different occasions and only have a field goal to show for it. They've turned the ball over on downs and have punted it on two other occasions as the read option attack has been shut down.

The Jets' lone field goal at the halfway point was created from a Willis McGahee fumble that Bart Scott recovered to put New York in field goal range.

And what do you know? As I'm typing this, the Jets have fumbled the football at the 1-yard line and Guard Matt Slausen has recovered for the game-leading touchdown.

How would you have it any other way in a game full of offesnvie ineptitude?
