London called, and the Broncos answered with a chilly, 13–11 win over the Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — the NFL Network breakfast special from across the pond. New York rolled in winless while Denver brought fresh momentum from last week’s comeback in Philly, and you could feel those vibes early even in a grind-it-out affair. Consider it the International Series wake-up call: tea, toast, and a whole lotta defense. (nfl.com)
Denver set the tone with explosives and patience: Wil Lutz drilled a 57-yarder, then Bo Nix (19/30, 174 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT) kept the chains moving and found Nate Adkins (2/23, TD) for a 16-yard strike with two ticks left in the first. Evan Engram (5/42) was Nix’s security blanket, and Marvin Mims Jr. juiced field position all day — capped by a fourth-quarter catch that mattered most. On the other sideline, the Jets needed special teams to breathe (a 72-yard Kene Nwangwu burst set up points), because the offense just couldn’t get loose.
The weirdness hit after halftime: a Nick Folk field goal trimmed it to 10–9, then a Broncos holding call in their own end zone gifted New York a safety and a brief 11–10 edge. But Denver’s defense packed its passports and the pressure — swarming Justin Fields and closing with late sacks to snuff out the Jets’ last hope. New York’s stars never found daylight: Justin Fields (9/17, 45 yards; 7 rushes, 31) and Breece Hall (22/59) battled, but the Broncos kept everything in front and the ball on schedule.
Ballgame swung on one throw and one boot. With London nervy, Nix ripped a sideline dime to Mims for 26, and Lutz walked out cool as a cucumber to lace the go-ahead 27-yarder with 5:08 left — his seventh point of the morning and the difference in a two-point win. That’s how you win overseas: steady QB play, a stingy D, and a kicker who turns the pitch into his personal runway. (nfl.com)
Big Dill of the Game: Wil Lutz — 57- and 27-yard FGs, 1 PAT (7 points). When the uprights looked narrow and the vibes got loud, the boot stayed big. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and this was Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you on the flip.
