🔗 Share this article NFL Roundup: Broncos Narrowly Beat Hapless Jets in Defensive Battle During a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 win over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the late decisive three-pointer to seal the ugly win. Dominant Performance Wins Contest Even with recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after giving up a safety in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 offensive yards throughout the contest. Nix, who went 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes left. Record Struggles for Jets Offense Despite their dismal performance, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to score a potential victory. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion rather than calling on kicker Nick Folk for a long kick. The Jets quarterback struggled throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York finished with negative ten net yards passing, the lowest in any game since 1998. "The aerial attack was completely absent," the coach stated following the contest.
