Football Roundup: Broncos Narrowly Beat Hapless Jets in Defensive Affair

In a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 victory over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz provided the game-winning decisive three-pointer to seal the ugly win.

Dominant Display Seals Game

Even with recording nine sacks versus Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 total net yards during the contest.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's short kick 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. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

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

"The aerial attack was non-existent," the coach stated after the game.
