Denver’s high temperature tied the daily record high, the previous record was set in 1892.
Denver officially hit 92 degrees Sunday afternoon at 1:42 PM, according to the National Weather Service. This ties the old daily high temperature set all the way back in 1892, that is over 131 years ago.
This comes shortly after breaking the daily record high on September 26th reaching 93 degrees.
It has been a hot month of September. In fact, it will likely finish as the warmest September on record come October 1st.
A break from the heat is expected on Monday and Tuesday, with another record-breaking day expected on Wednesday. The current record high is 88 degrees set back in 2005; we are forecasting a high temperature of 90 degrees.
This all comes as Denver is just 8 days away from the average first freeze, and 19 days from the first snow.
The New York Jets made linebacker C.J. Mosley inactive for Sunday’s game with the Denver Broncos as both teams set their final active rosters for the game.
Mosley has not played in two weeks as a result of a toe injury he suffered against Tennessee. The Jets are trying to guard against re-injury. He has experience with a setback in injury recovery. In 2019 he returned early from a groin injury and ended up having season-ending surgery.
He was on the injury report all week, did not practice and was listed as doubtful on Friday’s final report.
Jamien Sherwood is expected to start for the second straight game.
As expected offensive tackle Morgan Moses is inactive. He was already listed as out on the injury report due to a knee injury, so making him inactive was a formality. Rookie Olu Fashanu will make his first start at right tackle for the Jets.
Moses is expected to miss next week’s game, too.
New York’s other inactives are defensive end Braiden McGregor, defensive tackle Leonard Taylor, cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse and running back Izzy Abanikanda.
New York made other moves leading up to the game, all involving practice squad players. The Jets elevated linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball and defensive lineman Bruce Hector.
McCray-Ball was elevated for New York’s last game and he played 14 snaps on special teams. The Jets added him to their practice squad in August and he’s been a part of the Jets’ practice squad off and on since last year.
Hector signed with the Jets’ practice squad last month. This is the first time he’s been elevated this season.
New York also signed linebacker Anthony Hines to their practice squad and placed linebacker Brandon Smith on practice squad injured reserve.
Hines was one of the Jets’ final cuts coming out of the preseason. Smith signed with the Jets’ practice squad earlier this week and has appeared in two NFL games with other teams.
The Broncos, as expected, designated JL Skinner as inactive. He was the only Broncos player listed as out on Friday’s injury report.
Denver’s remaining inactives were quarterback Zach Wilson, wide receiver Devaughn Vele, running back Blake Watson, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, tight end Lucas Krull and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike. Wilson is a former Jets first-round pick who start for New York as recently as last year.
Tight end Nate Atkins (shoulder) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles), who were both on the injury report, are active for the Broncos.

Denver Broncos at New York Jets odds, expert picks, how to watch: The rookie (Bo Nix) vs. the superstar (Aaron Rodgers)
Bo Nix and the Broncos finally reached the win column in Week 3 against Tampa Bay, but if they have momentum, oddsmakers aren’t seeing it. Denver opened as touchdown underdogs against the Jets this week, and their improbable road upset against the Bucs did nothing to move the line.
Betting on the Jets to cover that big of a spread would normally be throwing money away, but Nix has yet to show consistency in the passing game, and the Denver running attack is nonexistent. Lead back Javonte Williams has 52 yards in three games, a total that third-stringer Tyler Badie eclipsed in their last contest. Nix currently leads the team on the ground with 107 yards, and though the Jets are vulnerable against the run, Denver doesn’t have the weapons to exploit that weakness.
New York has been better in coverage than their cumulative stats suggest, as only one opposing pass catcher has reached 70 yards, and they’ve allowed just one touchdown through the air. With Nix at the bottom of the league in air yards per attempt (3.3) and no meaningful threat on the ground to draw attention, a breakout passing game isn’t likely in Week 4.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets passing attack are getting more dangerous by the game. Rodgers’ time to throw has increased every week, beginning at 2.33 seconds against the Niners and rising to 2.6 against the Patriots. If there’s a universal truth in the NFL, it’s that you don’t give great passers time. Rodgers has proven that, ramping up his yards per game each week.
The Broncos have two good cover safeties in Brandon Jones and P.J. Locke, but their pass rush is middle of the road, and they can be gashed on the ground. The Jets have the horses to do so with Breece Hall and blossoming rookie Braelon Allen, meaning Denver’s defense will have its hands full all over the field.
Nathaniel Hackett calling plays for the Jets is another potential wrinkle for the Broncos since he’s not likely to let off the accelerator after Sean Payton’s scathing review of Hackett’s time as Denver’s head coach. Everything is lining up for the Jets to cover in Jersey.
