Football Roundup: Denver Narrowly Beat Hapless Jets in Low-Scoring Affair

During a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the late go-ahead field goal to seal the ugly win.

Defensive Performance Seals Contest

Despite recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a two-point play in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets managed just 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that ended with Lutz's short kick with approximately five minutes left.

Record Struggles for Jets Offense

In spite of their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a possible victory. But Fields was tackled on fourth down 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 had difficulties all game, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was completely absent," Glenn stated after the game.
