Jets vs. Broncos Live Updates: Denver Survives New York’s Scrappy Fight in London Thriller
The New York Jets remain desperate for their first win of the season after another frustrating loss overseas. Despite an ugly offensive showing, New York managed to hang around against the Denver Broncos, falling short in a sloppy yet dramatic matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Halftime: Jets Stay Alive Despite Offensive Struggles
At the break, Denver led 10–6, but it was anything but a routine first half.
The Jets’ offense was practically nonexistent early, managing just one total yard across their first four drives. Still, a costly Broncos fumble on their opening possession gave New York a short field for a quick field goal, putting the Jets up 3–0.
Moments later, Kene Nwangwu provided a rare spark with a 72-yard kickoff return, leading to another field goal. Somehow, without a single first down on those possessions, New York had six points.
Denver’s lone touchdown came from Bo Nix, who connected with Nate Adkins to put the Broncos ahead. Despite dominating time of possession and yardage, the Broncos’ miscues kept the Jets within striking distance.
Second Half: Broncos Hold On as Jets Collapse Late
The second half turned into a defensive slugfest. The Jets’ passing attack completely imploded, finishing the day with –10 net passing yards.
Quarterback Justin Fields had no time to operate, taking nine sacks — seven of which came courtesy of Denver’s relentless pass rush.
On their final drive, Fields missed an open Garrett Wilson on third down, then went down for another sack on fourth-and-eight, sealing New York’s fate.
The Broncos didn’t play their cleanest football, but their defense made just enough big plays to escape with a 10–6 victory. Denver improved to 4–2, while the Jets fell to 0–6, still searching for their first win of the year.

Takeaway: Ugly, But Competitive
For much of the game, it felt like the Jets were doing everything possible to lose — yet they still had a chance late. The defense and special teams kept things close, but the offensive line and passing game remain a major concern.
Meanwhile, the Broncos avoided embarrassment in London, improving their record but leaving with more questions than answers.
If Denver wants to stay in AFC contention, their offense will need to complement what has become a quietly consistent defensive front.
