During a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Denver Broncos clinched a close win over the winless New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the late decisive three-pointer to seal the hard-fought win.

Defensive Display Seals Contest

Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after giving up a safety in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets managed just 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

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

Historic Struggles for Jets Offense

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had possession with a opportunity to score a possible victory. But Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets finished with minus-10 net yards passing, the fewest in any game since 1998.

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