Trevor Siemian Gives the Broncos The Best Chance to Win

The Jacksonville Jaguars were officially eliminated from playoff contention after Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Denver Broncos dropped them to 2-10. You can’t sit there in a corner and pout.

So Stacie Saturday Anonymous and still.

Step away from the edge, calm down and take a deep breath, Paxton Lynch is still a rookie.

It did. But it was far from pretty.

Denver Broncos’ Devontae Booker (23) runs for yardage past Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Da …

“Well, he got his first win”.

“I’ve been looking forward to this game for a long time”, Marshall said of his first chance to play against the team that drafted him in 2012 only to doubt him and dismiss him, cutting him on three separate occasions. “Didn’t turn the ball over, which we knew would be huge here”. “I’ll have to look at it again; (it was) probably behind him”.

The win wouldn’t have come without a tremendous showing from the Broncos defense.

“When we’re [running] well, it gives us a chance to move the quarterback around a little bit”, Kubiak said.

“Now it’s time to adjust, still a young overall player”, Kubiak said. Linebacker Telvin Smith said following Sunday’s loss – the Jaguars’ seventh in as many games – that absolutely no way did he anticipate this.

The Broncos’ depth remains an issue upfront.

Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian was never supposed to be in the situation he’s now in, being the quarterback of the defending Super Bowl champions.

“[Lynch] missed two big plays in the game off of bootlegs that could’ve been a touchdown for us”. The lack of production from them also hurts the running game. In the receiving end, Emmanue Sanders posted 162 yards and a touchdowns in seven receptions while Bennie Fowler added a 76-yard touchdown reception. More importantly, Von Miller, T.J. Ward and the Broncos defense will also look to lead the way.

Jacksonville stayed in it because of Denver’s offensive inefficiency. They have some players, just have been put in tough spots by a turnover-prone offense. The greatest quarterbacks I’ve seen are John Elway, Tom Brady and Manning – shuffle them into your order of preference – in part because they were so durable. “I know the fans aren’t happy about it and neither are we”.

One burning question I’ve gotten a lot lately, especially since Sunday’s loss, is should the Jaguars bench quarterback Blake Bortles.

It was the 11th pick-6 of Bortles’ three-year career and his third in the last four games.

Trailing 10-3 in the third quarter, the Jaguars were driving until Roby intercepted a Bortles pass and took it 51 yards the other way for a touchdown.

Denver is first in the league in pass defense and fourth in total defense, largely because of a pass rush that hounds opposing quarterbacks.

Marshall’s numbers are, like he said, “run of the mill”. This week they wanted to regain their reputation as closers.

“Maybe I have to stop worrying about the big plays”, Marshall said. It happened against Buffalo on a critical third-down late in the game in which a Bills defensive back grabbed his jersey to prevent him from making a catch and it happened at least twice against the Broncos. “We usually finish the game off a turnover, and we were able to do that”. Mobilizing the offense, no matter who’s leading it. “But like everything, the more that you get repetition of it, the more comfortable you feel”.
