During a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 win over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to seal the ugly win.

Defensive Performance Wins Game

Even with registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 following conceding a safety in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets managed just 82 offensive yards during the contest.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes remaining.

Record Difficulties for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had possession with a opportunity to score a possible winning score. But Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

The Jets quarterback struggled throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York finished with negative ten passing yards, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

"The aerial attack was completely absent," the coach stated after the contest.
