Quarterback Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass and kicker Wil Lutz kicked the game-winning decisive three-pointer to secure the hard-fought win. Dominant Performance Seals Contest Despite recording nine sacks versus Jets quarterback Justin Fields, the Broncos were behind 11-10 after conceding a two-point play in the third quarter. Interestingly, the Jets could only produce just 82 offensive yards throughout the entire game. Nix, who completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards, led a decisive 12-play, 65-yard possession that culminated in Lutz's short kick with approximately five minutes left. Historic Struggles for Jets Offense In spite of their horrendous offensive display, the Jets maintained the ball with a opportunity to drive for a possible victory. However Fields was sacked on fourth down from the Denver 44 after coach Aaron Glenn chose to attempt the conversion instead of sending out specialist Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt. The Jets quarterback struggled all game, completing just 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards. New York finished with negative ten net yards passing, the lowest in any game since 1998. "The aerial attack was non-existent," Glenn stated after the contest.
