Week 4- New York Jets @ Metlife Stadium

Regardless of what the New York Jets look like in 2020, this is bound to be a tough game for the Denver Broncos.

Not even considering Super Bowl XLVIII, the Broncos struggle over on the East Coast and in early games. When the Broncos last visited Metlife in 2018, they lost to the Jets 34-16, a game in which the Jets scored 21 points in the second quarter.

While the New York Jets are trending upward with QB Sam Darnold at the helm, so are the Broncos, and should be favored in the contest. However, we have seen how this team plays on the East Coast, especially in New York; let’s hope this is the year they break the dreaded East Coast curse.
