The Broncos defeated the Jets 23-0 in Week 14, snapping an eight-game losing streak. Denver’s defense turned in a historic performance and receiver Demaryius Thomas passed Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe on the team’s all-time receiving list.
Here’s what coach Vance Joseph said to the team in the locker room following the win:
“Let me start by saying this, men. How proud I am of you guys for how you worked for the last two months. It’s been a long time since we’ve won. But no one stopped working, men, right? No one stopped believing.
“That’s you guys, that’s the locker room, that’s the coaches. Now we’ve got two game balls. One goes to D.T. — he’s second in Broncos history, guys. With yards and touchdowns. The second game ball goes to the defense. All you guys, the first shutout in 12 years.”
