In a defensive struggle this weekend, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 win over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz provided the game-winning decisive three-pointer to seal the ugly win.

Defensive Display Wins Game

Even with registering nine sacks versus Jets quarterback 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 attempts for 174 yards, led a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's short field goal with approximately five minutes remaining.

Historic Difficulties for Jets Offense

In spite of their dismal performance, the Jets still had the ball with a opportunity to drive for a possible victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

The Jets quarterback struggled all game, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 passing yards, the fewest in any contest since 1998.

"Our passing game was non-existent," the coach stated following the contest.
