🔗 Share this article Football Roundup: Denver Narrowly Beat Struggling Jets in Low-Scoring Affair During a defensive struggle this weekend, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and kicker Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to seal the hard-fought win. Defensive Performance Seals Contest Despite recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a safety in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards during the contest. The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes left. Historic Struggles for Jets Offense Despite their dismal offensive display, the Jets still had possession with a opportunity to score a possible winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth down from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it rather than calling on specialist Nick Folk for a difficult kick. The Jets quarterback had difficulties all game, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the fewest in any game since 1998. "Our passing game was non-existent," Glenn stated after the game.
