Wil Lutz kicked a go-ahead 47-yard field goal with 8:55 left to lift the Denver Broncos to a 10-9 win over the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon in East Rutherford, N.J.

Lutz later had a chance to extend Denver's lead, but he was wide left on a 50-yarder.

The miss gave the ball to New York (2-2) at its own 40 with 1:27 to go. A 15-yard defensive pass interference penalty helped the Jets work down to the Broncos 32, but Greg Zuerlein also failed to convert a 50-yard field-goal attempt with 47 seconds left, giving Denver its second straight win.

Zuerlein had moved New York in front, 9-7, on a 40-yarder with 13:34 remaining.

Bo Nix had a quiet day through the air for the Broncos (2-2), completing 12 of 25 passes for 60 yards and a touchdown. Javonte Williams rushed for 77 yards on 16 carries, and Courtland Sutton finished with three catches for 60 yards and a score.

Nix capped an 11-play, 87-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Sutton to give Denver a 7-6 edge with 3:08 to go in the third quarter. It was the only touchdown of the game.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 225 yards on 24-for-42 passing and got little help from the Jets' rushing attack. Star running back Breece Hall was held to 4 yards on 10 carries, with New York collecting only 64 yards on the ground.

Neither team managed to pick up a first down until a defensive pass interference call set New York up at the Broncos 1 with 53 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Jets couldn't fully capitalize, though, and they had to settle for Zuerlein's 23-yard field goal nine seconds into the second quarter.

Zuerlein booted a 35-yarder as time expired in the first half to send New York into the break up 6-0.

Rainy conditions led to a sloppy game, but the opening quarter was particularly rough. The Jets totaled 15 yards over the first 15 minutes of action, while Denver had just 6.
