Football Roundup: Denver Narrowly Beat Hapless Jets in Low-Scoring Affair

During a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Broncos clinched a close win over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the late decisive three-pointer to seal the hard-fought win.

Dominant Performance Wins Game

Despite registering nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 following conceding a two-point play in the third quarter. Remarkably, the Jets managed a mere 82 offensive yards throughout the contest.

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

Record Struggles for Jets Attack

In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets still had the ball with a opportunity to score a possible victory. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it rather than calling on specialist Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

Fields struggled throughout, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets finished with minus-10 passing yards, the fewest in any contest since 1998.

"Our passing game was non-existent," Glenn stated following the contest.
