During a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos managed to secure a 13-11 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to secure the ugly win.

Defensive Display Seals Game

Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 following conceding a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard possession that culminated in Lutz's short kick with approximately five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Offense

Despite their horrendous performance, the Jets still had possession with a opportunity to score a possible winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties all game, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets finished with minus-10 passing yards, the fewest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was non-existent," Glenn stated after the contest.
