Broncos rule Trevor Siemian out against Jaguars
The Super Bowl champion Broncos (7-4) will have to fight to return to the postseason while playing in a resurgent AFC West. Denver is now two games behind the division-leading Oakland Raiders and a game back of the Kansas City Chiefs with five games to play, and it is dealing with an injury to quarterback Trevor Siemian. “I’ll just take the reps and whatever happens this week happens”. “Everybody had a turn, including me”. Riley Dixon pinned the Jaguars inside their own five yard line, so the battle of field position had flipped to favor the Broncos thanks to Raymond’s big punt return. Their best chance to return to the playoffs in search of another Super Bowl win could be as a Wild Card, meaning every game is critical at this point. It was a rough night. “He’ll definitely travel with us to the game”, Kubiak said.
A 41-yard Brandon McManus field goal four plays later allowed the Broncos to escape with a 20-10 win that got them back on solid ground in the wild-card race, with a one-game lead on the Miami Dolphins for the No. 6 seed in the AFC postseason race with four weeks remaining.
“I think it’s still a day-to-day process”, Kubiak said of Siemian’s injury, which occurred on the opening drive of overtime in their defeat against Kansas City last Sunday.
The Jaguars, meanwhile, continue to play hard despite mounting losses and speculation about coach Gus Bradley’s job security.
“You talk about lucky bounces”.
“I don’t pay attention to that stuff”, star linebacker Von Miller said. He must have gone to Mass that morning and said his Hail Mary’s and everything. The 27-year-old McClain was on his third straight one-year contract but never saw the field for the Cowboys. “I’ve seen them clang on the inside of the upright and go in that way, but not sideways”.
Coaching – Gary Kubiak had his struggles against the Chiefs, but his willingness to take a risk will endear him to Bronco fans. Receiver Jordan Norwood is also active, although his special teams role is likely to be diminished.
“We’re working guys as we speak”, DeCamillis said.
“He’s further along. He’s further along mentally and further along in what we ask him to do on a weekly basis. We have to get that corrected quickly”. Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and Cleveland (2008-13) weren’t almost as inept as the Buccaneers, but they still managed to post at least six straight seasons with 10 or more losses. Indianapolis hosts Houston and the Jaguars and plays at the Jets, Minnesota and Oakland.
Why watch: The Chiefs’ OT victory over the Broncos was one of the best games this season, but now they must regroup and somehow stop the best offense in the NFL.
