Broncos survive scare to beat Jets in London

The New York Jets remain the only winless team in the NFL after the Denver Broncos escaped with a 13-11 win against Aaron Glenn’s side in London.

Denver last week beat Super Bowl champions Philadelphia, who went into that game as one of only two teams still unbeaten.

Yet on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a team tipped as potential Super Bowl contenders laboured to victory in front of 61,155 fans in the second of this year’s three London games.

Nade Adkins claimed the game’s only touchdown at the end of the first quarter, helping the Broncos to a 10-6 lead at half-time.

Defences then dominated in a nail-biting second half, which saw the Jets edge in front with their third field goal and a safety.

The Broncos’ second field goal put them back in front with five minutes remaining, before their defence stepped up in the closing stages.

The Jets were struggling to get within range to attempt a potential game-winning field goal with just over a minute remaining and went for broke on 4th & 8.

But they failed to earn first down as quarterback Justin Fields was sacked for the ninth time – he had as many sacks as pass completions (nine) – allowing the Broncos to improve their record to 4-2 while the Jets are now 0-6.
