NFL London final score, results: Broncos defense throttles miserable Jets to move to 4-2 image

JUMP TO:

The Denver Broncos produced another dominant defensive performance to move to 4-2 with a 13-11 victory in London over the hapless New York Jets.

Denver struggled to move the ball on offense, but the Broncos sacked Jets quarterback Justin Fields nine times en route to victory.

New York finished the game with minus 10 net passing yards, the lowest since the San Diego Chargers had negative 19 against the Kansas City Chiefs in 1998.

The Jets drop to 0-6 for the first time since the 2020 season, when they started 0-13 under Adam Gase.

Yet the Jets took the lead after forcing their first turnover of the season when a Troy Franklin fumbled on the opening drive was recovered by Andre Cisco.

That was turned into a 52-yard field goal by Nick Folk, though Will Lutz responded in kind with a 57-yarder on the next Broncos possession.

A 72-yard kickoff return from Kene Nwangnu set the Jets up to immediately retake the lead, and Folk knocked through a 41-yarder field goal.

Denver’s response was the only touchdown drive of the game, a nine-play, 79-yard series capped when Bo Nix found a wide-open Nate Adkins on the final play of the first quarter to give them a 10-6 lead.

The half ended with the crowd and Jets receiver Garrett Wilson questioning their approach to a two-minute drive as they let the clock run out on fourth down, to the bemusement of most in the stadium.

Yet the Jets were back in the lead in the third quarter. Their opening series ended in a third Folk field goal, and New York went ahead in unconventional fashion when the Broncos were flagged for holding in the endzone, drawing a go-ahead safety.

A miserable Jets offense never looked like pressing home that advantage, however, and a 12-play, 65-yard drive in the fourth quarter ended in a Will Lutz field goal that proved decisive for the Broncos.

It did so because of another mismanaged Jets sequence to end the game. Having moved the ball to the Denver 46, the Jets needed a handful of yards to get into field goal range.

However, Fields took a sack on first down and, after an incompletion to Wilson on third left New York facing fourth-and-8, the Jets elected against the 62-yard field goal.

Fields dropped back and was quickly sacked for the ninth time as Jonathon Cooper wrapped the game up for the Broncos, who now lead the AFC West.

Broncos vs. Jets live updates, highlights from NFL London in Week 6

4th quarter

5:34pm: Bo Nix takes two kneel downs and it is all over! The Broncos improve to 4-2, the Jets are 0-6.

Final: Broncos 13-11 Jets

5:32pm: And it ends in fitting fashion! Fields is sacked by Jonathon Cooper and the Broncos will take over on downs and win the game. 

5:31pm: Fields' third-down throw to Wilson is late and too far inside. Talanoa Hufanga breaks it up. The Jets are going for it on fourth down.

5:30pm: Fields is sacked on first down and loses five yards before gaining seven with a completion to Garrett Wilson on second.

5:28pm: Hall picks up the first down on the ground. The Jets need seven or eight more yards to be in field goal range.

5:25pm: Almost disaster for the Jets as the shotgun snap bounces off the hands of Fields, but Breece Hall recovers and then picks up seven yards as we hit the two-minute warning.

5:23pm: Jermaine Johnson marks his return from a three-game absence with a sack of Nix to get the Jets' defense off the field. The punt is returned to the New York 44-yard line. Excellent field position with a chance to win the game with a little under two-and-a-half minutes left.

5:19pm: An inaccurate ball from Fields to Garrett Wilson sees the Jets spurn the chance to pick up a first down, and Fields is subsequently sacked by Nik Bonitto.

5:14pm: Field goal! Bo Nix overshoots Courtland Sutton on an endzone shot on third down. That leaves Will Lutz a 27-yard field goal, with which he makes no mistake. The Broncos lead again. 

Broncos 13-11 Jets

5:13pm: A completion to Pat Bryant puts the Broncos inside the 10-yard line.

5:10pm: Successive third-down conversions for Bo Nix, first to Evan Engram and then to Marvin Mims as he runs free down the sideline for 23 yards.

5:05pm: Fields comes up narrowly short on a third-down scramble. After a timeout to think about it, the Jets elect to punt.

4:56pm: Nix's pass is batted down on third down. The defensive struggle continues unabated.

3rd quarter

4:50pm: Fields is sacked for the sixth time. The Jets, stop me if you've heard this before, will punt to start the fourth quarter.

4:49pm: A quick review overturns the call, ruling Wilson did not have complete possession of the ball and make a football move before it was dislodged. A lucky break for the Jets.

4:48pm: Fumble! Garrett Wilson spills the ball after a completion from Fields, and Denver recover, but this is under review.

4:46pm: A continuation on a theme, a three and out for the Broncos.

4:39pm: The Broncos send the free-kick to the Jets following the safety. As has been the case throughout, the New York drive goes nowhere as the Jets spurn the chance to take a touchdown lead. Fields is sacked by Talanoa Hufanga on third down.

4:35pm: SAFETY! Jets lead! Garrett Bolles is flagged for holding in the endzone as Nix drops back. That's a safety and, despite a completely anaemic offense, the Jets are in front.

Broncos 10-11 Jets

4:31pm: Fields is off target on third-and-long. The Jets punt, and it's downed inside the five-yard line. A long field for Denver.

4:22pm: The Broncos drive quickly goes nowhere and, incredibly, the Jets will get the ball back with a chance to retake the lead.

4:16pm: Field goal! The Jets display something approaching confidence and get to the edge of the red zone, but Zach Allen bats down a pass on third down to force the kick. Folk is good from 31.

Broncos 10-9 Jets

4:11pm: We're back off and running. The Jets get the ball to start the third quarter. Let's see how long they keep it.

Halftime

4:07pm: Garrett Wilson was *not* a happy man.

4:01pm: At half-time, the Broncos have 175 yards to the Jets' 32. 

It's been dire stuff from New York, but the opening-drive turnover and untimely penalties have held the Broncos back. It should be much more than a 10-6 lead at the half.

2nd quarter

3:58pm: A bemusing sequence following the fake punt, which the Jets bizarrely follow up with a first-down run. A third-down throw to Josh Reynolds is caught short of the sticks and both teams oddly elect to let the clock wind down on fourth-and-1. Significant, and understandable, discontent in the crowd as the half comes to an end.

3:52pm: Fake punt! After an uninspiring offensive series, the Jets look set to kick it away and give Denver another chance to score before the half, but the ball is instead snapped to Breece Hall who does just enough to pick up the first down.

3:44pm: Justin Fields connects with Josh Reynolds for the first Jets first down of the game. It's the two-minute warning as we approach the end of a rough first half for their offense.

3:39pm: The Broncos were moving the ball pretty easily on the Jets, but a false start on 3rd-and-1 followed by a holding penalty that negated a conversion to Troy Franklin kills their momentum.  The punt is fielded at the 16.

3:30pm: The Jets' offense is stuck in reverse. Justin Fields is sacked twice as they go three and out.

3:25pm: Nix attempts to swing the ball out to Dobbins on third down, his low throw is dropped and the Broncos punt.

3:22pm: After a long pause for an injury to Jets defensive tackle Jay Tufele, Bo Nix converts a third down as he gets six yards on the ground.

3:12pm: The Jets go three and out on their next possession. Bo Nix will get the ball back at the Denver 21-yard line with the chance to really put the Broncos in command.

1st quarter

3:05pm: TOUCHDOWN BRONCOS! Nix finds Engram again for 16 yards on third down and the Broncos are in the red zone.

Denver get another play off before the end of the first quarter and Nix fakes the throw to the flat, before finding a wide-open Nate Adkins for the score to end the quarter.

Broncos 10-6 Jets

3:01pm: Fourth-down conversion! Nix picks up 12 yards on a scramble on 3rd-and-17. Just shy of midfield, the Broncos go for it and finds Evan Engram on the choice route.

2:53pm: Field goal! The New York offense does nothing with the field position, but Nick Folk is good from 41 yards.

Broncos 3-6 Jets

2:51pm: Huge kickoff return for the Jets! Kene Nwangwu bounces off a tackle and goes 72 yards on the run back. The Jets are on the edge of the red zone.

2:47pm: Field goal! A first-down penalty kills the Broncos' progress, but Will Lutz ties things up with a 57-yarder. A kicking duel at Tottenham.

Broncos 3-3 Jets

2:44pm: Nix hits Pat Bryant in stride on a slant for the first first down of the game.

2:38pm: Field goal! The Jets go backwards after their first turnover of the season, but Nick Folk nails a 52-yard kick to give them the lead.

Broncos 0-3 Jets

2:35pm: Fumble! Third down after two short JK Dobbins runs. Bo Nix comes under heavy pressure from Jermaine Johnson, he breaks the pocket and finds Troy Franklin on the run, but the ball is poked free by Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Andre Cisco recovers for New York.

2:33pm: Nick Folk sends the kick into the sky and we're off and running.

Pregame

2:30pm: National anthems completed. Kickoff is imminent!

2:26pm: The Jets win the toss and defer. The Broncos will get the ball to start the game.

2:25pm: Both teams are out for the coin toss. There is a lot of Broncos orange in the stadium.

2:17pm: The Broncos lead the all-time regular-season series with the Jets 22-18-1, though they have lost two of the previous three matchups.

2:06pm: His last game for New York?

1:55pm: Bo Nix has thrown for multiple scores in two of his five games so far this year. He'll hope to change that against a New York defense that has cratered in 2025.

1:42pm: Trading star players is the last thing on the mind of the Broncos fans, as they hope to see their team improve to 4-2 and move to the top of the AFC West.

1:32pm: Given their record, it's no surprise the Jets are fielding trade calls, including for their star running back, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

1:25pm: The Jets need their stars to step up if they are to prevail today. Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams and Garrett Wilson will all require big games.

1:14pm: There is good news for Jets at corner. Brandon Stephens, who had been a late addition to the injury report with a neck issue, is active.

1:05pm: Nickel corner Michael Carter II, mentioned as a potential trade candidate this week, is out with a concussion.

1:02pm: The inactives lists for the game are out.

12:52pm: Denver will be donning Tottenham colours today.

12:45pm: An 0-6 start is what the Jets are staring in the face, and it would be their second of the decade. 

They last started 0-6 in 2020 under Adam Gase, in a campaign that saw them lose their first 13 games before finishing 2-14.

12:35pm: Justin Fields will be desperate for that first win as a member of the Jets.
