Bonitto entered the game as the NFL’s co-leader in sacks with seven and added one more to bring his season total to eight. Cooper and Strnad combined on the final sack of the game, taking down Fields on fourth-and-8 from the Denver 44 with just over five minutes left to play, ending New York’s final scoring chance.

Both kickers finished perfect on the day. Folk’s three field goals — from 52, 41, and 38 yards — accounted for all 9 of New York’s points. Lutz’s go-ahead 27-yarder with 5:06 left completed a 12-play, 65-yard drive that gave Denver the final margin.

The Jets’ –10 net passing yards marked the lowest figure in any NFL game since the Chargers posted –19 against Kansas City in 1998 — a record that had stood for 27 years. New York’s 0–6 start was the third in franchise history, joining the 1996 and 2020 teams. For Denver, a third straight win and a 4–2 record left them tied with the Los Angeles Chargers at the top of the AFC West.
