Football Roundup: Denver Edge Hapless Jets in Low-Scoring Affair

In a low-scoring contest this weekend, the Denver Broncos clinched a 13-11 victory over the winless New York Jets. Signal-caller Bo Nix threw an early scoring strike and kicker Wil Lutz provided the game-winning decisive three-pointer to secure the ugly win.

Dominant Performance Seals Game

Even with registering nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a safety in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets managed a mere 82 offensive yards throughout the entire game.

The Denver quarterback, who went 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in Lutz's 27-yard kick with approximately five minutes remaining.

Historic Struggles for Jets Offense

In spite of their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a chance to score a possible winning score. But Fields was tackled on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn chose to go for it rather than sending out kicker Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

Fields had difficulties throughout, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York finished with minus-10 passing yards, the lowest in any game since 1998.

"The aerial attack was non-existent," Glenn commented after the game.
