Jets vs. Broncos: 5 Adjustments Denver Must Make in the 2nd Half

Tebowmania is at an all-time high. He has won three out of four starts, and is looking to help his team shed its losing record.

Despite only throwing eight times last weekend, and with the help of Willis McGahee & the VonDoom tandem, he was able to take down the Chiefs. We'll see if his magic can help him down another team with playoff hopes.

Here are five adjustments the Broncos must make to take down the Jets in the second half:

1. Trust the Pass

Although the first drive ended in a turnover on downs, Tebow completed all his passes and threw for 43 yards. He's looking comfortable and confident in the speedy offense. The Jets front four and secondary have not seemed to faze him. John Fox should put his faith in Tebow's continued passing success.

2. No Funky Business

The Jets' defense read right through Denver's direct snap attempt on third down during their second drive, and Jeremiah Johnson could not gain any yardage on the play. They had to settle for a field goal. If Denver keeps it simple and relies on Tebow's intangibles, the Broncos may be able to give Rex Ryan's defense more fits.

3. No More Fumbles

Willis McGahee lost the ball on a fumble late in the first quarter after being given golden field position by a missed Jets field goal. Denver must avoid those kind of plays. That's called beating yourself.

4. Pressure Mark Sanchez

Sanchez doesn't look too comfortable at Mile High tonight. The Jets have relied heavily on the run, despite the absence of LaDainian Tomlinson. If they can keep up the pressure on New York's young QB, the Jets' offense won't be able to stay honest.

5. Test Out a Long Pass

Last weekend against the Chiefs, Tebow only threw eight times, but one of them was a 40-plus yard rocket for a touchdown. We know Tebow is capable of doing this. Fox should surprise the Jets and pull that play out of the box in the second half.
