In an absolutely incredible sequence of events, the New York Jets narrowly avoided a win in London over the Denver Broncos, although they finished with a negative passing yardage record.
Sunday's match may well have gone down in history for the wrong reasons. Still seeking their first win after six games this season, the Jets lost 13-11.

Quarterback Justin Fields attempted 17 passes, but only nine connected, so he ended the game with a 45-yard throw through the air.
That's not much, but he also was the victim of nine quarterback sacks for a loss of 55 yards. In total we find ourselves… -10 yards.
It was the worst record in franchise history and the worst record in the NFL in 27 years. The record still belongs to the Broncos, who finished with -53 yards against the Oakland Raiders in 1967.
Obviously, New York turned to their ground game, which allowed them to make three field goals. Running back Breece Hall was busy on 22 carries, but none of them exceeded eight yards. Fields competed seven times.
The Broncos' (4-2) offense was much more traditional, with quarterback Bo Nix gaining 174 yards on 19 relays. In the first quarter, he threw a touchdown pass to Nate Adkins.
The Jets (0-6) are the only NFL team still winless in 2025. They are already in a good position to miss the playoffs by 15.e times in a row.
