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

Defensive Performance Seals Game

Despite registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after conceding a two-point play in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets managed a mere 82 total net yards during the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with just over five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Offense

Despite their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to score a possible victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

Fields struggled throughout, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998.

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