**Getting the Ball Out Fast Will Be 'Super Important This Week'**
As the Jets prepare to face a Denver defensive front that leads the league with 21 sacks, QB Justin Fields knows what's at stake.
"It's always important to get the ball out fast just to help the O-line," he said. "It's going to be super important this week. Of course, they have a great front. Two great edge rushers, guys in the inside that get the job done."
Fields is coming off a season-high 283 passing yards in Week 5. WR [Garrett Wilson](/team/players-roster/garrett-wilson/) has been the definition of consistency all season, leading the team in receiving yards through each of the first 5 games. Rookie TE [Mason Taylor](/team/players-roster/mason-taylor/) has also come into his own, and he emerged as the most popular target (12) in last week's loss.
But Fields & Co. will have their work cut out for them Sunday as they face a unit led by OLB Nik Bonitto, who leads the NFL with 7 sacks, and CB Pat Surtain II, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. The Broncos have allowed the eighth-fewest passing yards per game (200.2) in 2025.
"They have two Edge guys that are pretty elite when it comes to that," Aaron Glenn said. "They have interior guys I think that do a hell of a job. And when you have the corners and the man-to-man guys you have, it makes the quarterback hold the ball for quite a bit. … Our O-line has their work cut off for them and they know that. Our receivers know they have to get open, and Justin has to be able to deliver the ball and throw it accurately because guys are going to be tight on them."
With a week of preparation and team bonding now under their belts, the Jets will look to secure their first victory of the season, in London.
"We're here to play a game," Glenn said. "… Our total focus is, how do we go out there and do we beat the Broncos? And that's what we're working on every day."
