So he alertly scrambled to his feet and went untouched for a 29-yard scoring run, his second of the game, to cut the deficit to 17-14.

"I knew I didn't touch the ground," Jones explained. "When I rolled over (Peterson), I just tried to stay on my feet."

The Broncos unsuccessfully challenged the call.

When asked if he had ever had a touchdown quite like that one, Jones replied, "I don't know. Maybe in high school."

--During the second half, when the trailing Jets were using their no-huddle offense a lot, five different Broncos left the game for at least one play because of injuries. And all of those injuries occurred after completed passes, taking the Jets out of their rhythm at the time.

Coach Eric Mangini was asked if he thought the Denver players were faking those injuries to throw off the Jets' timing.

"You'd have to ask them about that," Mangini said after the game. "With any injury situation, you take it at face value."

None of the injuries occurred after the two-minute warning, when Denver would've been assessed a timeout.

Jets offensive linemen Alan Faneca and Brandon Moore both indicated Monday they would be interested in seeing the Broncos' injury report for their next game, although that might not give much insight. Denver coach Mike Shanahan is known for listing as many players as probable. In fact, the Broncos listed eight players as probable for this game.

--Denver center Casey Wiegmann did a good job against 360-pound nose tackle Kris Jenkins in the Broncos' victory. The Jets had a lot of trouble with Denver's zone blocking schemes.

"I think the zone scheme is very good," Mangini said. "Really, Denver is the team that made it a staple."
