🔗 Share this article Football Roundup: Broncos Edge Hapless Jets in Defensive Battle In a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Denver Broncos managed to secure a close win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz kicked the late go-ahead field goal to secure the ugly win. Dominant Performance Seals Contest Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following giving up a two-point play in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 total net yards throughout the contest. The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with just over five minutes left. Historic Struggles for Jets Attack In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had the ball with a opportunity to drive for a potential victory. But Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when head coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it rather than sending out specialist Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt. Fields struggled all game, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. The Jets finished with minus-10 net yards passing, the lowest in any contest since 1998. "The aerial attack was completely absent," the coach commented following the game.
