In a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Broncos managed to secure a close victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the late decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win.

Dominant Performance Wins Game

Despite recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after giving up a two-point play in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets managed a mere 82 total net yards throughout the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with approximately five minutes remaining.

Record Difficulties for Jets Offense

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to drive for a possible winning score. However 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, connecting on just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York ended up with negative ten net yards passing, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was completely absent," the coach commented after the contest.
