NFL Recap: Denver Narrowly Beat Hapless 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 threw an early touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win.

Defensive Performance Seals Game

Even with recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a safety in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards throughout the entire game.

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

Historic Difficulties for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to drive for a potential winning score. But Fields was sacked on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a long kick.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties all game, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets finished with negative ten passing yards, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

"Our passing game was non-existent," Glenn commented after the contest.
