New York sink to 0-6 record for the season
Bo Nix threw an early touchdown pass, Wil Lutz kicked a late go-ahead field goal and the Denver Broncos sacked Justin Fields nine times, with the final one sealing an ugly 13-11 victory over the winless New York Jets on Sunday.
The Broncos (4-2) won their third in a row, but found themselves trailing 11-10 after conceding a safety in the third quarter against a Jets team that managed just 82 total net yards on offense.
Nix, who was 19 of 30 for 174 yards, led Denver on a 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Lutz’s 27-yard field with just over five minutes left.
Despite a horrendous offensive display, the Jets (0-6) still had the ball with a chance to drive for a potential winning score. But Fields was sacked by Jonathon Cooper and Justin Strnad on fourth-and-eight from the Denver 44 after Aaron Glenn opted to go for it rather than send out Nick Folk for a long field-goal attempt. Folk had successfully converted all three of his field goals on the day.
