The New York Jets celebrated Nathaniel Hackett's return to Denver by rallying past the Broncos 31-21 on Sunday behind Breece Hall's 72-yard touchdown run and Bryce Hall's 39-yard game-sealing scoop-and-score off Russell Wilson's fumble in the final minute.
That gave Hackett, the Jets' offensive coordinator who was fired after going 4-11 as Denver's head coach last season, a measure of satisfaction.
Then, Wilson led the Broncos to a touchdown and 2-point conversion to make it 24-21 late in the fourth quarter.
Fans streamed to the exits after that turnover and it was eerily mostly empty while Jets players hugged Hackett on the sideline.
Breece Hall's long TD run up the middle came on the Jets' second snap of the second half and put them ahead for good at 15-13.
