The Denver Broncos‘ defense dominated the New York Jets on Sunday, sacking quarterback Aaron Rodgers five times while adding an interception and a forced and recovered fumble in a 10-9 win.
Following that impressive performance, NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger took to Twitter/X to break down some of the team’s standout defenders.
“One great play after another,” Baldinger said in his video of defensive lineman Zach Allen dominating the line of scrimmage. “Zach Allen and this front … across the board, they were locked down all day.”

Baldinger also reviewed footage of cornerback Pat Surtain lining up against Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
“[Surtain said], ‘Not on my watch,'” Baldinger said of one of the cornerback’s breakups. “‘Not on my day. This is the Broncos’ day.’ And that defense was outstanding all day.”
.@Broncos @PatSurtainll v @nyjets @GarrettWilson_V matched up quite a bit…but not always. The Broncos Defense is playing great football on all levels keeping the J E T S out of the endzone all day. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/ZwTzMB6Nld

And the offense wasn’t overlooked — Baldinger reviewed how the run game got back on track against the Jets:
.@Broncos found there run game; especially in the 2nd half when they needed it most. Big committment to Javante & Jaleel behind a solid OL performance #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/EPGhdoH27j
