Answer at the bottom Game 3: The Jets are uncompetitive in another loss Ron Chenoy/USA TODAY Sports BRONCOS 26, JETS 0 -- The Jets dropped to 0-3 on Sunday with an ugly loss to the Broncos. Worse for Robert Saleh and his team is that they've looked less and less competent by the week. Two more things: - In their winless start to the season, the Jets have scored 20 points in total, only three in the first half, and six in the last two games - Zach Wilson (19-of-35, 160 passing yards, two INTs) wasn't good, but played better than last week. His second INT was a garbage time deflection, though he now has seven INTs and two TDs through his first three NFL games Also: Michael Carter led the team with 24 rushing yards.
