Featuring a couple of the worst rosters in the NFL right dgnow, this has the makings of a sloppy football game. The Broncos have been absolutely decimated by injuries, seeing five starters placed on injured reserve as well as several other players missing time for various reasons. The Jets — well, let’s just say they have a bad roster.gdsg

This could turn into a trap game for the Broncos, as they have a short week and typically struggle when heading to the East Coast. Jets head coach Adam Gase could be coaching in his last game for gang green, and might have something up his sleeve to give to his former team in what could be his career Super Bowl.
If Denver has any hopes of turning this season in the right direction, they must win this game. The Jets are a bad football team in just about every facet, and it sounds as if Gase has already lost his locker room.
Let’s take a look at how Denver can knock off the Jets this week by breaking down the five key matchups to watch.dh
CB Essang Bassey vs. WR Jamison Crowder
Part of the reason the Jets offense has been the worst in the league is the fact that they also have a handful of injuries on the offensive side of the football. RB Le’Veon Bell is on injured reserve, and Crowder has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.dh
But the Jets might catch a break this week as Crowder is expected to play on Thursday night, and he sees the majority of his time lined up in the slot.dh
With Broncos CB AJ Bouye still recovering from his dislocated shoulder, the Broncos have inserted Bassey —- an undrafted free agent from Wake Forest — into the slot, sliding Bryce Callahan to the boundary.dh
Results have been mixed so far for Bassey, and Crowder has a chance to exploit the undersized rookie with his quality route running over the middle of the field. Crowder caught seven passes for 115 yards, including a 69-yard touchdown, against the Bills in Week 1.dh
QB Sam Darnold targets Crowder early and often, so Bassey is going to have to come ready to play.dh
If there’s one thing that you can immediately notice while watching Darnold it’s that he is seeing ghosts in the pocket, constantly running from pressure behind an absolutely dreadful offensive line.dfh
Denver has a couple of key players missing from their defensive line, including Von Miller and Jurrell Casey, but there are still a handful of horses capable of getting after the quarterback on the Broncos roster.fdhd
While they haven’t been able to get home in their pass rush schemes up to this point of the season, Denver has a chance to further rattle the embattled third-year signal-caller. Going against a pair of Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks that know how to get rid of the ball quickly as well as some stellar offensive line play upfront can significantly hamper a pass rush, especially when the coverage unity behind them can’t win their matchups on a regular basis.dh
But the Jets have neither of these things and to make it worse, Darnold appeared to be a broken player in his press conference following last week’s loss to the 49ers. His confidence seems shattered, which is like blood in the water for the figurative sharks that are defensive coordinators.sgds

Watch out for another big game from Shelby Harris here, as the interior of the Jets offensive line is absolutely horrendous in pass protection.
