Football Recap: Denver Narrowly Beat Struggling Jets in Defensive Affair

In a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to seal the ugly win.

Dominant Performance Seals Contest

Even with recording nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 following giving up a two-point play in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets managed just 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's 27-yard field goal with just over five minutes remaining.

Record Difficulties for Jets Offense

In spite of their dismal performance, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to score a possible victory. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it instead of sending out kicker Nick Folk for a long kick.

Fields struggled all game, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the fewest in any contest since 1998.

"The aerial attack was non-existent," the coach commented following the game.
