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

In a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a close win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win.

Defensive Display Seals Game

Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following conceding a two-point play in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets managed a mere 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

Nix, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that ended with Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes remaining.

Record Struggles for Jets Offense

In spite of their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to drive for a potential 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 kicker Nick Folk for a long kick.

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

"Our passing game was completely absent," the coach stated following the game.
