During a defensive struggle this weekend, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a close victory over the winless 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 ugly win.

Dominant Display Wins Game

Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 total net yards during the entire game.

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 approximately five minutes left.

Historic Difficulties for Jets Attack

In spite of their dismal performance, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to score a potential victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it rather than calling on specialist Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

The Jets quarterback struggled all game, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with negative ten passing yards, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

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