🔗 Share this article Football Roundup: Broncos Edge Hapless Jets in Defensive Battle In a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a close victory over the struggling New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz provided the late decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win. Dominant Display Seals Contest Even with recording nine sacks versus Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after giving up a safety in the second half.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that culminated in Lutz's short kick with just over five minutes remaining. Historic Difficulties for Jets Offense Despite their dismal performance, the Jets maintained possession with a chance to drive for a potential winning score. But Fields was tackled on fourth down from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it rather than calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt. Fields had difficulties throughout, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the lowest in any contest since 1998. "Our passing game was completely absent," the coach stated following the game.
