Breece Hall does it again in Denver
Breece Hall is, officially, back.
On the New York Jets‘ first possession of the second half, the star running back broke off a 72-yard touchdown run to give his team a 15-13 lead.

The running back had come close to breaking off the big one, with the most recent play coming against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. But that changed on this play, as Hall broke away from the Denver defense for his first touchdown of the year.
Hall’s run was as impressive as the numbers said, as he reached 21.5 miles per hour, according to Next-Gen-Stats.
Breece Hall … 21.5 mph, per @NextGenStats 🔥 #Jets

The run also gave Hall his third run of 60 yards or more since the 2022 season. It tied him with Seattle’s Kenneth Walker III and Chicago’s Justin Fields as the only other players to reach that mark.
Hall looks back to form for the Jets, and for an offense looking to find its footing, it could not come at a better time.
