In a defensive struggle this weekend, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and specialist Wil Lutz provided the game-winning go-ahead field goal to seal the hard-fought win.

Dominant Display Wins Game

Despite recording nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after 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.

Nix, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that ended with Lutz's 27-yard kick with approximately five minutes remaining.

Record Struggles for Jets Attack

Despite their dismal performance, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a potential victory. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

Fields had difficulties all game, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York ended up with minus-10 passing yards, the fewest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was completely absent," Glenn commented after the contest.
