ENFIELD, U.K. — The Denver Broncos are getting ready to face the struggling New York Jets this Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. After a significant comeback win against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, the Broncos aim to maintain their momentum in London.

Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has praised cornerback Riley Moss, stating he is playing well but still has room for growth. Moss conceded a 52-yard completion on a crucial third down in his last game, along with a pass interference penalty. “Riley is competitive; sometimes he doesn’t play to the plan early,” Joseph said, emphasizing the need for Moss to be more strategic in his matchups.

Despite considerable standout performances, the Broncos still have challenges to address. This week, they will likely see star receiver Garrett Wilson from the Jets, further complicating defensive planning. Joseph mentioned that Moss will be ready for any assignments, indicating a blend of tactical adjustment and player development is crucial for success. “He’ll play good football for us,” he added.

The Jets, currently 0-5, are seeking their first win of the season. Head coach Aaron Glenn is focused on turning the team around, aiming for competitive play despite their loss streak. “It’s important to understand who we are,” Glenn stated. “We respect every team we face.”

As both teams prepare, there are notable absences impacting team lineups, including second-year pass-rusher Jonah Elliss for the Broncos. Joseph mentioned that other players, like Que Davis, are ready to step in and perform if needed.

The Broncos’ recent history with the Jets includes a narrow 10-9 victory last year in a similarly challenging environment. This time, with the stakes even higher as they face the only winless team left in the NFL, maintaining focus will be critical.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 a.m. MDT Sunday, and both teams will be looking to make a statement in this unique matchup across the pond.
