Coach Joseph's exceptional defense leads Broncos to 10-9 victory over Jets, thanks to his thorough preparation.

The Denver Broncos have had quite the journey over the past 10 days. From their home in the Mile High City to Florida, then West Virginia, and finally back home with a road sweep under their belt. And what a sweep it was, with two impressive performances resulting in upset wins on the East Coast. The latest being a 10-9 victory against the New York Jets, thanks to a masterclass from coach Vance Joseph.

The Broncos' defense was a force to be reckoned with right from the start of the game. On the first play, linebacker Justin Strnad sacked future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, setting the tone for the rest of the match. The defense continued to step up when needed, especially on a rainy and challenging afternoon at MetLife Stadium.

Strnad, who was making his first start of the season, praised Joseph for his great game plan and preparation. This sentiment was echoed by other players, highlighting the trust and confidence they have in their coach.

The Broncos' defense dominated the game with five sacks, with the last one being the most crucial. With just minutes left on the clock and the Jets threatening to score, Joseph called for an all-out blitz. The players executed it perfectly, with P.J. Locke delivering a game-changing sack on Rodgers to turn the ball over on downs.

Locke, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized it with both hands and made a huge play for the team. His instincts and hard work paid off, and he credits Joseph for making the right call at the right time.

The Broncos' relentless pressure on Rodgers was a key factor in the game. Even when they couldn't get him to the ground, they made him uncomfortable in the pocket, disrupting his rhythm and forcing him into incompletions.

Head coach Sean Payton acknowledged the Broncos' defensive prowess, stating that it's tough to pressure someone as smart as Rodgers. But the Broncos did just that, limiting the Jets to only 64 rushing yards and keeping them out of the end zone on a crucial goal-line stand.

The Broncos' defense was firing on all cylinders, and their performance was even more impressive when considering their challenging schedule. They were underdogs in both road games, but they proved their mettle and returned home with two crucial wins.

The players credit their time at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia for helping them bond and create an identity as a team. This newfound chemistry and trust in each other were evident on the field, and the results speak for themselves.

With a record of 2-2, the Broncos are feeling confident and ready to take on their next opponents, the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers. And while they may be looking forward to some sunshine back home, they know that their defense will continue to shine and be the driving force behind their success. As rookie cornerback Pat Surtain II put it, this road trip has helped them build a strong foundation for the rest of the season. And with their eyes set on the future, the Broncos' defense is ready to make some noise in the NFL.
