In a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Denver 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 decisive three-pointer to secure the ugly win.

Dominant Display Seals Game

Despite recording nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following conceding a two-point play in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 offensive yards throughout the contest.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with just over five minutes left.

Historic Struggles for Jets Attack

Despite their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to score a possible victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

Fields struggled throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 net yards passing, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

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