Broncos vs Jets: Bo Nix calls New York a real threat ahead of London game

After pulling off a statement win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, the Denver Broncos now turn their attention to the New York Jets, the only team in the NFL still searching for its first victory.

The matchup may look favorable on paper, but quarterback Bo Nix refuses to take it lightly. The Broncos head to London for Sunday’s early game on NFL Network (7:30 a.m. MT), and Nix made it clear that Denver cannot afford to underestimate anyone, regardless of record.

“I think in the league, quite honestly, it’s a little disrespectful to consider anybody a trap team,” Nix said. “They’re an NFL team, and they’re going to have some really good players on their defense, and it’s not really a trap game. I think any game you can walk in and slip up and lose, that’s just the league.”

Broncos stay grounded after Eagles upset

The Jets enter Week 6 at 0-5, but their record doesn’t tell the full story. New York has dropped three one-score games, including two by just two points.

Denver, at 2-3, knows how fine the margins can be after suffering two close losses of its own before upsetting Philadelphia by four points.

“They’re a good football team; they’ve been close on some games,” Nix said. “They were a couple of walk-off plays away from having two or three wins.”

Outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper echoed the need to move forward quickly after last week’s high.

“It’s time to flush [the Eagles game],” Cooper said. “Process it, review it, learn from it, and then onto the next one. We have to refocus.”

The Jets’ struggles stem from poor tackling and inconsistency on both sides of the ball. They lead the league with 49 missed tackles, and their offense has failed to capitalize on the talent of wideout Garrett Wilson, who has topped 10 targets only twice this season.

Quarterback Justin Fields has struggled to find rhythm behind an erratic offensive line, making New York desperate for stability.

Despite that, Nix isn’t buying into the “trap game” narrative. “This is not a team to just toss around like they’re winless,” he said. “I think we will be ready to go. It’s just another game.”

Denver may be favored, but the message from inside the locker room is clear: stay sharp, respect every opponent, and don’t let momentum slip away.
