During a defensive struggle this weekend, the Denver Broncos clinched a 13-11 win over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the late decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win.

Defensive Display Seals Game

Despite registering nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a two-point play in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets managed just 82 offensive yards during the contest.

Nix, who went 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's short kick with just over five minutes left.

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had possession with a opportunity to drive for a possible winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion rather than sending out specialist Nick Folk for a long kick.

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

"The aerial attack was non-existent," Glenn commented following the game.
