In a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 win over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix threw an early scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to seal the hard-fought win.

Dominant Performance Wins Contest

Despite registering nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after conceding a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 total net yards during the entire game.

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

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous performance, the Jets maintained the ball with a chance to score a possible winning score. But Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

Fields struggled throughout, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with negative ten net yards passing, the fewest in any contest since 1998.

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