In a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a close victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback 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 Wins Contest

Despite registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following conceding a safety in the third quarter. 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 critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with approximately five minutes left.

Historic Difficulties for Jets Attack

Despite their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a possible victory. But Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it instead of calling on specialist Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

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

"Our passing game was completely absent," the coach commented after the game.
