Winners and Losers from the Denver Broncos’ 20-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos rebounded from a Week 1 blowout loss to the Chiefs with a 4th-quarter comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2, overcoming early red zone struggles.
- QB Bo Nix led the comeback with a solid performance of 22 completions on 31 attempts for 288 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception, showing marked improvement from his previous game.
- Key contributors included WR Jaylen Waddle with 8 receptions for 138 yards, rookie RB Jonah Coleman who scored his first career touchdown, and a strong defensive showing led by corners Pat Surtain II, Riley Moss, and Ja’Quan McMillian.
- Offensive coordinator Davis Webb redeemed himself after a poor Week 1 showing by orchestrating effective second-half drives, while defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s unit limited the Jaguars to just 13 points and under 200 passing yards.
- Areas of concern remain with red zone inefficiency, as the Broncos settled for field goals on multiple 1st-and-goal opportunities, and persistent penalty issues with 10 flags for 53 yards, which need improvement moving forward.
