The Denver Broncos won the opening coin toss and elected to defer possession to the second half giving the Jacksonville Jaguars the ball to start the game.
Beginning their opening drive from their own 17 yard line, the Jaguars opened up with a four-yard run then Trevor Lawrence found Marvin Jones for another four yards to bring up a third and short. From the shotgun, Lawrence found his right end for a big 24-yard gain out to their own 49-yard line.
After an incompletion, the Jaguars gained four up the middle to setup another third down.
