Because, the next 7 drives accounted for 167 plays through 2 1/2 quarters, no points, 3 punts and a fumble (others were end of half and over on downs).
Are you really suggesting they were 'holding back' because they thought they had it wrapped up at 10-0, after the 3rd turnover by the Jets with 2.5 quarters left?
They shit the bed or the Broncos played really well? Their ground game was good early, but 50 of Hills 97 yards rushing were on one busted play.
17 for 97 is good, much better than the 16 for 47 without that one play.

I'm not saying the Broncos didn't play well, but in a league where the team that wins the turnover battle wins 70% of the time, dropping two VERY easy INT's is shitting the bed.
