NFL Roundup: Denver Narrowly Beat Struggling Jets in Low-Scoring Affair

In a defensive struggle this weekend, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz provided the game-winning go-ahead field goal to seal the ugly win.

Defensive Display Wins Contest

Even with recording nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after conceding a two-point play in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard possession that ended with Lutz's 27-yard field goal with approximately five minutes left.

Record Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to drive for a potential victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback struggled throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes 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 game.
