Football Roundup: Denver Narrowly Beat Struggling Jets in Defensive Battle

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

Dominant Display Seals Game

Even with registering nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after giving up a two-point play in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 offensive yards during the contest.

Nix, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, engineered a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that ended with Lutz's 27-yard field goal with just over five minutes left.

Historic Difficulties for Jets Attack

Despite their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a chance to score a potential winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn opted to go for it rather than calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult field-goal attempt.

Fields struggled throughout, completing just 9 of 17 attempts for 45 yards. New York ended up with negative ten passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"Our passing game was completely absent," Glenn stated after the game.
