NFL Roundup: Broncos Narrowly Beat Struggling Jets in Low-Scoring Battle

During a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a close victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the late decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win.

Defensive Display Seals Contest

Even with registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 following giving up a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards throughout the contest.

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

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had the ball with a chance to score a possible winning score. But Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it rather than sending out specialist Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback struggled throughout, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"Our passing game was non-existent," the coach commented following the contest.
