During a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Broncos clinched a close win over the winless New York Jets. Quarterback Bo Nix connected on a first-quarter touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz provided the game-winning decisive three-pointer to seal the ugly win.

Dominant Display Seals Game

Despite registering nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following giving up a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 total net yards during the entire game.

Nix, who went 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, engineered a critical 12-play, 65-yard possession that culminated in Lutz's short field goal with just over five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Offense

In spite of their horrendous performance, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to drive for a potential winning score. However Fields was tackled on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of calling on kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

The Jets quarterback had difficulties throughout, connecting on just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. The Jets ended up with minus-10 net yards passing, the lowest in any contest since 1998.

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