Leonard Fournette carries Jacksonville Jaguars to win with career day

DENVER -- Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone lamented the way his offensive line had played the last three weeks, saying their struggles in the run game wasn't giving Leonard Fournette a chance.

Fournette certainly got it on Sunday against the Denver Broncos and, boy, did he deliver.

Fournette ran for a career-high 220 yards on a career-high 29 carries in the Jaguars' 26-24 victory over Denver at Mile High Stadium. He's just the second player in franchise history to surpass 200 yards rushing: The other is Fred Taylor, who ran for 234 yards in the Jaguars' 34-24 victory in Pittsburgh in 2000.
