During a low-scoring contest on Sunday, the Broncos clinched a 13-11 victory over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and specialist Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to secure the hard-fought win.

Dominant Performance Wins Game

Despite registering nine sacks against Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following giving up a two-point play in the second half. Remarkably, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards during the entire game.

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

Historic Difficulties for Jets Attack

Despite their dismal performance, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to score a potential victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 when head coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

The Jets quarterback struggled all game, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998.

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