In a rainy contest at MetLife Stadium, the Denver Broncos emerged victorious with a narrow 10-9 win over the New York Jets, who were coming off a ten-day rest but exhibited a sluggish offensive performance. This Broncos' victory, following their domination against the Buccaneers, was highlighted by strategic plays and robust defensive efforts. Despite a challenging first half where quarterback Bo Nix struggled with negative passing yards, he found his stride with an 11-play, 87-yard drive culminating in his first career NFL touchdown pass. Denver's defense, consistently pressuring Aaron Rodgers, played a pivotal role, sacking him five times and holding the Jets to field goals despite several opportunities within striking distance.
