During a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Broncos managed to secure a close win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz provided the game-winning decisive three-pointer to seal the hard-fought win.

Dominant Display Seals Game

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

Nix, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's short field goal with approximately five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Offense

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a chance to score a possible victory. But Fields was sacked on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when head coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties all game, connecting on just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York ended up with negative ten passing yards, the fewest in any game since 1998.

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