During a defensive struggle on Sunday, the Denver Broncos clinched a 13-11 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter scoring strike and kicker Wil Lutz provided the late go-ahead field goal to secure the hard-fought win.

Dominant Display Wins Game

Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following conceding a two-point play in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets managed a mere 82 total net yards during the contest.

The Denver quarterback, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a critical 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes left.

Record Difficulties for Jets Attack

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for 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 specialist Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt.

Fields had difficulties throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 net yards passing, the fewest in any contest since 1998.

"The aerial attack was completely absent," Glenn stated following the game.
