During a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a close win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz provided the game-winning go-ahead field goal to secure the hard-fought win.

Defensive Performance Seals Contest

Even with registering nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following conceding a safety in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets managed a mere 82 offensive yards throughout the contest.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered 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 Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to score a possible winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when head coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

Fields had difficulties throughout, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the fewest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was completely absent," Glenn stated after the game.
