Jaguars – Broncos (17-21): Russell Wilson and Denver more realistic

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6) – Denver Broncos (3-5): 17-21

3 punts, 1 interception, the offensive debut of the Broncos on the lawn of Wembley was complicated. Back from injury, Russell Wilson (18/30, 252 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception) took time to get into a game where Denver shone in fits and starts. The spark first came from the defense, where Justin Simmons made a game-winning interception as the Jaguars were just 1 yard from the line and just a stone’s throw from taking a 14-point lead. Jerry Jeudy (6 receptions, 63 yards, 1 touchdown) and Greg Dulcich (4 receptions, 87 yards) each had their series to allow the visitors of the day to turn in the lead at the start of the last quarter. Finally, Latavius ​​Murray (14 races, 46 yards, 1 touchdown + 1 reception, 13 yards) – on a full center race – and K’Waun Williams – with his interception – offered the victory a few seconds from the end of the meeting

Regulars of the place, the Jaguars started the meeting in the best possible way by taking a 10-point lead quickly, before gradually dying out. Regularly under pressure, Trevor Lawrence (18/31, 133 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions) struggled to stay in his pocket and lacked precision to find his targets. However, he was able to count on a Travis Etienne of the great days (24 races, 156 yards, 1 touchdown + 3 receptions, 6 yards) to move the chains. But it was not enough against an opponent who knew how to be more realistic in important moments.

Jacksonville imposes its signature

A sack from Arden Key on the first series, an interception from Tyson Campbell on the 2nd, the Jacksonville defense is there at the start of the game. His offensive counterpart is quick to follow suit to find his cruising speed. The Trevor Lawrence – Travis Etienne connection is working at full speed and allows the chains to move. But it’s Evan Engram (4 receptions, 55 yards, 1 touchdown) who unlocks the Florida counter on a reception of 22 yards.

On the side of Denver, the time difference with the Rockies does not seem digested. The inaccuracies follow. Penalties also (5 for 50 yards in the first quarter alone, 10 for 71 yards at the break). Well present, Russell Wilson has the greatest difficulty in advancing his attack and lacks precision in his throws. It must also be said that the game calls are not the most inspired. Thus, Denver must wait for the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter to glean a 1st attempt. And in the meantime, the punts keep coming.

Fortunately, the defense is doing (a little) better. Certainly the squad folds, but Justin Simmons avoids the worst by intercepting Lawrence in the end-zone. Then she pushes Riley Patterson to the gall goal, when they were on their 19 yards. Jacksonville has the hand on the meeting but does not manage to widen the gap. A lack of realism in the red zone that they will pay cash. Jerry Jeudy sounds the revolt and allows the visitors to come back to 3 small points (10-7) at the break. We thought they were badly embarked, but here are the visitors only one possession away from their opponents.

Denver more realistic

Often under pressure and less precise than at the start of the match, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars struggled to finish the first act. An impression that is confirmed on returning from the locker room with an increasingly cautious game plan. The hairy quarterback is on the verge of losing possession on a sack from Nik Bonitto, and the defense, so robust before the cut, begins to waver. Russell Wilson relies on his tight end Greg Dulcich several times to stretch the game. The veteran then leaves it to Melvin Gordon (9 carries, 29 yards, 1 touchdown + 3 receptions, 23 yards) to conclude on the ground just 1 yard from the line (10-14).

The 2nd act starts in the best way, the rest will be slower. The defenses have clearly got their hands on a meeting where only Travis Etienne still manages to advance. The heroes are Corliss Waitman and Logan Cooke, respective punters of the Broncos and Jaguars, authors of 6 consecutive kicks in total. The thinning comes at the end of the meeting. In two passes, the Jaguars quickly find themselves in the opposing red zone. And this time, they will not miss the opportunity to conclude. Author of an XXL performance so far, Etienne is back in force in the end-zone and gives his team a 3-point lead. a short-lived advantage. The Floridians in turn relax and as a good leader, Russell Wilson guides his people towards the promised land. 7 actions, 80 yards and 2 minutes 11 later, Latavius ​​Murray scored the touchdown of the issue. 7 seconds later, K’Waun Williams intercepts Lawrence. The hopes of victory fly away for Jacksonville which connects a 5th setback in a row and Nathaniel Hackett can breathe. Denver only has to play on the ground to eat the last remaining seconds and validate a success that took a long time to take shape.
