She could not and would not wear a No. 12 jersey with her last name stamped across the back, out of fear of tipping off the screaming fans that surrounded her.
So Stacie Saturday Anonymous and still.
Avoid becoming the first team in franchise history to go winless in Jacksonville; the Jaguars are 0-4 in true home games.
Finally, the Broncos’ offense got going thanks first to a roughing the passer penalty on Jacksonville pass-rushing linebacker Telvin Smith.
“We came into the game knowing we had a shot if we didn’t turn the ball over, especially when you have a defense as good as you have on the other side of the ball”, Lynch said. “The defense got us back the ball a lot”.
His mechanics have slipped significantly this season, so much so that he called Adam Dedeaux, whom he worked with at 3DQB, and had him fly to Jacksonville for two days earlier this season. I think that’s been the story pretty much all year: “we play good but we don’t step up when the offense needs us”.
Denver was 1 for 13 on third downs and finished with just 206 yards, the fewest allowed in Bradley’s four-year tenure.
“He’s special”, Kubiak said of Miller. That player actually played an impressive game. “He didn’t have any turnovers”. The offensive line gave him time.
PREDICTION: The Broncos are a little beat up after one of the wildest games in recent National Football League history (OT loss to Chiefs Sunday night), but the Jaguars may be even more impacted by injuries – and they were in trouble with a healthy roster. Their starting quarterbacks have total quarterback ratings that rank in the bottom-half of the NFL. Brandon McManus would go on to kick the field goal to put the game away. They have only won twice so far this season and come into today’s game on 2-9, which is enough to place them in the basement of the AFC South. And it did Sunday.
Raymond, an undrafted rookie from Holy Cross, was promoted five days after the Broncos watched another speedster, Tyreek Hill, score against them on a rush, a reception and a return.
A change of possessions near the end of the first half gave the Broncos a chance late.
Miller had a hand in Denver’s two biggest defensive plays of the day.
“I couldn’t be happier”, Jackson said of his new role as the veteran tutor showing younger teammates what it takes to become a champion.
Siemian will make the trip although he might sit in the coaches’ box with offensive coordinator Rick Dennison rather than stand on the sideline because of the boot. “It’s tough to get [a loss] like this, with two great defenses, but it’s one that we need to get over that hump”.
After another week of seeing a victory slip through their fingers in the fourth quarter, things own’t get any easier for the Jacksonville Jaguars with the defending champs coming to town.
Roby’s interception return midway through the third quarter covered 51 yards and made it 17-3.
He threw a pick-six. Von Miller continues his wonderful play, as he has 49 tackles with 12.5 sacks in 2016.
“They were exceptional”, Kubiak said of his defense. Add in three lost fumbles and the third-year pro has 16 of the team’s 22 turnovers this season.
With starting quarterback Trevor Siemian out due to a sprained foot suffered during a hard overtime loss to Kansas City last week, the Broncos needed their defense to step up.
