The NFL saw a mix of surprising performances and dismal displays in recent matchups, highlighting the highs and lows of the league.

Jets Struggle with -10 Passing Yards Against the Broncos

In a tightly contested game, the Denver Broncos edged out the New York Jets with a score of 13-11. Despite the victory, the Broncos faced a challenging offense from the Jets, who produced just 82 total yards.

Bo Nix led the Broncos with a commendable performance, completing 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards. He orchestrated a crucial 12-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in a 27-yard field goal by Wil Lutz with over five minutes left in the game.
