The Denver Broncos needed a victory over a talented Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Broncos’ rushing attack and aerial assault of Devontae Booker/Paxton Lynch hit a stalemate for the majority of the game. Jalen Ramsey and Jaguars’ pass defense is no slouch placing them in the top-five.
Jason Myers, Jaguars field goal kicker, started the scoring after there were no points in the first quarter. After dumb roughing the passer penalty by the Jaguars, Lynch and the offense responded to take a lead 7-3 on Booker’s best run of the game.
Clock management could be scrutinized late in the first half, but Lynch put together his only other good drive aided by Kalif Raymond and the Jaguars on fourth down.
