On Sundays that offer Denver’s top-ranked defense the opportunity to record nine sacks, one can be rest assured that quietly-emerging star Jonathan Cooper had more than a few memorable contributions of his own. Tied for No. 7 leaguewide in sacks — and well on pace to surpass last season’s 10.5-sack total — Cooper called game, bringing down the Jets’ quarterback for a game-clinching sack on 4th & 8. On the NFL’s national stage, Cooper’s performance was like that of a star, as he helped guide the Broncos’ low-scoring 13-11 win over New York through a game-high two sacks, five tackles, and three QB hits on Oct. 12, 2025.
