During a defensive struggle this weekend, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 victory over the winless New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late decisive three-pointer to seal the hard-fought win.

Defensive Display Seals Contest

Despite registering nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after conceding a safety in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 total net yards throughout the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that culminated in Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a potential winning score. But Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion rather than calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties throughout, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York ended up with negative ten net yards passing, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

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