🔗 Share this article Football Roundup: Broncos Edge Hapless Jets in Defensive Battle During a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a close victory over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to seal the hard-fought win. Defensive Display Seals Contest Despite recording nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a two-point play in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 offensive yards during 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 field goal with just over five minutes left. Record Difficulties for Jets Offense Despite their dismal offensive display, the Jets still had possession with a opportunity to score a possible winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a long kick. The Jets quarterback had difficulties throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. The Jets finished with negative ten passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998. "The aerial attack was non-existent," the coach stated after the contest.
