NFL Recap: Broncos Edge Struggling Jets in Defensive Battle

During a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 win over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the late go-ahead field goal to secure the hard-fought win.

Dominant Display Wins Game

Despite recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets managed a mere 82 total net yards throughout the contest.

Nix, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's 27-yard kick with just over five minutes left.

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had the ball with a chance to score a possible victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

Fields had difficulties throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with minus-10 passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"Our passing game was non-existent," the coach stated after the game.
