During a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 win over the winless New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late decisive three-pointer to seal the ugly win.

Defensive Performance Seals Game

Despite registering nine sacks versus Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following giving up a safety in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets managed a mere 82 total net yards throughout the contest.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard field goal with just over five minutes remaining.

Record Struggles for Jets Attack

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a possible victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when head coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it rather than calling on kicker Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

Fields struggled all game, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets finished with minus-10 passing yards, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

"Our passing game was completely absent," Glenn stated following the contest.
