During a defensive struggle this weekend, the Denver Broncos clinched a close win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to secure the hard-fought win.

Dominant Performance Seals Contest

Despite registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 following giving up a safety in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets managed just 82 offensive yards throughout the entire game.

Nix, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's short kick with approximately five minutes remaining.

Record Difficulties for Jets Offense

In spite of their dismal performance, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a potential winning score. But Fields was tackled on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback struggled throughout, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the fewest in any game since 1998.

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