The Jets stepped up in the fourth quarter on Sunday, securing their fourth win in a row.

New York's hard-fought victory over the Broncos came at a cost, though. 

Rookie running back Breece Hall was ruled out in the first half with a knee injury, needing to be helped off the field after a short run in the second quarter.

Factoring in his 72 yards on Sunday, Hall has rushed for 463 yards in six-plus games, racking up 681 yards from scrimmage.
