5 Broncos players that dominated in the shutout win over Jets

The Denver Broncos dominated the New York Jets 26-0. Which players stood out the most in this awesome effort by the Vic Fangio-led defense?

The Denver Broncos dominated the New York Jets to the tune of 26-0 to improve to 3-0 on the season. It was the second time in the last four meetings that the Denver Broncos have shut out the Jets, as a matter of fact, with the last shutout win coming in 2017 back when Trevor Siemian was leading the team at quarterback.

Times have certainly changed, haven’t they?

The Broncos just completed their third straight dominant victory to open the 2021 season. Considering the teams they have played are a combined 0-9, that’s all you could really ask for, right?

The great news is, the Broncos also have shown there is room for improvement on both sides of the ball. They have also been doing this with a number of key injured players on their own. That is easy to forget based on the way the team has played, but the Broncos are missing a number of critical starters on both sides of the ball.

Regardless, the team is winning and players are making plays. Who stood out in a big way against the New York Jets?

Here are the top five players that dominated in the shutout win.

5 Broncos players that dominated in the shutout win over Jets

1. Tim Patrick, WR

It’s time (for me) to stop underrating Tim Patrick.

Timmy P.

Timmy Toe-Tap.

Whatever you want to call him, he’s been one of the Denver Broncos’ best and most consistent offensive threats over the last couple of seasons.

The time to talk about extending Tim Patrick, who is playing this year on a one-year restricted free agent tender, is nigh.

In fact, it’s probably overdue.

Patrick finished this game with five receptions for 98 yards and although he didn’t have a touchdown, he had some of the team’s biggest offensive plays.

In his last 92 targets, Tim Patrick has 63 receptions and zero dropped passes.

He’s not only been sure-handed when it comes to making easier plays, but he’s also been outstanding with his body control, keeping his feet in bounds on tough plays near the sideline and skying up over defensive backs to make big plays on 50-50 balls as well.

Although it wasn’t a brilliant performance by the offense overall, Tim Patrick was fantastic.
