During a defensive struggle this weekend, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 win over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to secure the hard-fought win.

Dominant Display Wins Game

Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after conceding a two-point play in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 offensive yards throughout the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with just over five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to score a possible victory. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets finished with minus-10 passing yards, the fewest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was non-existent," the coach commented following the contest.
