The Broncos now have the best record in the NFL after beating the Packers last week. Jacksonville is their next challenge. The game is in Denver. I wish it was going to be cold. Florida teams generally don’t play well in the cold, but at least we have the altitude and crowd noise in our favor. Green Bay had lots of fans in Empower Field. I don’t think the Jaguar’s fans travel as well. Last week the Broncos took advantage of the altitude and dominated the fourth quarter, harassing Jordan Love on defense, and putting together drives on offense.
Denver got more turnovers than they gave up last week. That’s going to be very important this week. The Jaguars defense leads the NFL in takeaways. Jacksonville has also run the ball more effectively than Denver has. Right now, Trevor Lawrence and Bo Nix are each playing as well as they have in their short NFL careers. They both are not only good passers but are also threats to run the ball. The defense that can confuse and rattle the other team’s young QB will win this game. Broncos 32 Jacksonville 28. Go Broncos!
Before the game, from 12:00 to 12:45, I’m going to be meeting fans and posing for photos by my Ring of Fame pillar. The pillars are outside of the stadium on the south side. Stop by and say hi.
