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

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

Dominant Performance Wins Contest

Even with registering nine sacks against Jets QB Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 following conceding a two-point play in the second half. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce a mere 82 total net yards during the entire game.

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

Record Struggles for Jets Offense

Despite their dismal offensive display, the Jets maintained possession with a opportunity to drive for a potential winning score. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after head coach Aaron Glenn opted to attempt the conversion instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a difficult kick.

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

"Our passing game was non-existent," the coach stated following the contest.
