LONDON – After Sunday’s game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Jessica Moorman could barely talk. But that was understandable. 

Moorman had just watched her son, outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper, have two of the Broncos’ nine sacks in a 13-11 win over the New York Jets. She was shouting pretty much during the entire three hours, one minute of the game. 

“My voice is terrible but not completely gone,’’ she told The Denver Gazette after the game. 

Moorman, who lives in Columbus, Ohio, attends just about all her son’s games. She went to all but two last year and has been to all of them this season. 

To some, Sunday’s win in London might have been ugly. But Moorman was thrilled to see her son have the highest sack total in Denver’s resounding defensive performance. 

“Oh, my gosh, it was phenomenal,’’ she said. “I’m so proud of him, especially because at one point I think he tweaked something. He left the game and came back in and had a heck of a turnaround. So, he’s very determined. I love watching him play.” 

Cooper came out of the game with about five minutes left in the third quarter but soon returned. Moorman talked to Cooper for about 30 minutes after the game, and she said his health is fine. 

Moorman watched the game down low in the stands near the goal line, wearing a Cooper No. 0 Broncos jersey. She was accompanied by Bryan Nelson, a friend from Columbus, who wore a similar jersey. 

Cooper had a solo sack and two shared sacks. After one of the sacks, Moorman yelled, “Yes, yes, yes.” 

Cooper shared a sack with safety Brandon Jones on the key play of the game. With the Jets down 13-11 and facing fourth-and-8 at the Denver 44, the two dumped Jets quarterback Justin Fields for a 12-yard loss with 1:09 left in the game. 

The Broncos tied the team record for sacks in a game. There were eight players involved in them. 

Cooper now has 4.5 sacks this season. He still trails on the team outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, who has an NFL-high 8. But Cooper did have more than Bonitto’s one on Sunday. 

“Oh, man for a change,’’ Cooper said with a laugh about having more than Cooper in a game for the first time this season. “It’s about time. No. Shout out to my dawg. He’s really my brother and he keeps my head right. We push each other and stuff, and I couldn’t do it without him.” 

Moorman laughed when he told what Cooper said in the locker room after the game. 

“Oh, they’re like brothers, Nik and Coop,’’ she said. “They’re a great duo to watch. I think the chemistry is great between them. They look out for each other and they want each other to win (in their rushes).” 

Moorman is very close to Bonitto’s parents. She said Vince Bonitto is “like my brother” and Sandra Penn is “like my sister.” 

So, it was no surprise that after the game Moorman and Nelson chatted it up with Vince Bonitto and Penn with the two star Broncos edge rushers also on hand. 

Moorman arrived in London on Friday and said she had a great time. 

“I rode the bikes and the scooters on the streets,’’ she said. “We went to Ronnie Scott’s (on Saturday) night. It’s an amazing jazz club.” 

She also was impressed by the crowd at Sunday’s game. 

“The fans were amazing,’’ said Moorman, who also attended Denver’s 21-17 win over Jacksonville in 2022 at London’s Wembley Stadium, when Cooper was in his second season. “Being in London is so amazing because you see cheers for (the competing teams) but you also see all the other people here in London that just wear their own team’s jerseys. So, it was phenomenal.” 

Moorman said several fans asked about her Cooper jersey, but she didn’t let on that he is her son. Yet when it comes to fans asking how to get a Cooper jersey, she is quick to tell them. 

“I get so much love (from fans about Cooper),’’ Moorman said. “People will come up (at games in Denver) and say, ‘I can’t get a Cooper jersey at the team store.’ So, I tell them to go to the NFL website to get one.” 

After Sunday’s game, Moorman’s voice was worn out, but she was still happy to talk about her son. On her way back to her hotel, a fan complimented Cooper’s play, and she gladly responded.
