Broncos Star Nik Bonitto Poised to Make Franchise History Against Jets
The Denver Broncos are aiming for a 4-2 record as they prepare for a crucial game against the New York Jets in London. After a remarkable victory in Philadelphia, the Broncos now confront the Jets, who are led by head coach Aaron Glenn, a product of the Sean Payton coaching tree.
Key Milestones and Records
Several Broncos players are on the verge of significant milestones during this Week 6 encounter.
- Rushing Achievement: The Broncos need 100 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Jets to emulate the 1977 team, who achieved this in the first six games of a season.
- Nik Bonitto’s Sacks: With 1.5 more sacks, Bonitto will be the first player in team history to achieve multiple sacks in four consecutive games. He currently leads the NFL with seven sacks and is in contention for Defensive Player of the Year.
- Bo Nix’s Passing Milestone: Quarterback Bo Nix requires three passing touchdowns to become the 11th player in NFL history with 40 passing touchdowns within his first 23 games.
- Courtland Sutton’s Receiving Goal: Sutton needs 50 receiving yards to tie Riley Odoms for the seventh-highest receiving yards in team history. Surpassing 51 yards would place him ahead of the former All-Pro tight end.
- J.K. Dobbins’ Rushing Target: Dobbins seeks two rushing touchdowns to tie for the fourth-most by a Bronco through six games of a season.
The Coaching Impact
Sean Payton, with a potential victory over the Jets, could tie Mike McCarthy for the 13th-most regular-season wins in NFL history. He recently surpassed his mentor, Bill Parcells, after the triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles.
These milestones underscore the talents and potential record-breaking performances of the Broncos’ roster. As they face the Jets’ 27th-ranked rushing defense, these achievements seem within reach.
