Late Field Goal Dooms Broncos Comeback Bid
22 Dec
Summary
- Jaguars secured a 34-17 lead late in the fourth quarter.
- Broncos rookie RJ Harvey scored to tie the game earlier.
- Bo Nix connected on a 48-yard pass to Troy Franklin.

The Denver Broncos faced a significant deficit against the Jacksonville Jaguars, ultimately falling short in their attempt to extend their winning streak. A Cam Little field goal late in the fourth quarter secured a 34-17 lead for the Jaguars, proving insurmountable for the Broncos.
Earlier in the second half, Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey had ignited hope by scoring a touchdown to tie the game at 17-17. However, the Jaguars quickly regained momentum, scoring two consecutive touchdowns. The Broncos' efforts were further hampered by a lost fumble on a botched handoff.
Despite the setbacks, the Broncos' offense showed flashes of resilience. A 48-yard completion from quarterback Bo Nix to wide receiver Troy Franklin moved the ball downfield. However, quarterback Bo Nix was unable to complete passes into the end zone, and a Wil Lutz field goal only narrowed the Jaguars' lead to 34-20 with 10:44 remaining, ultimately not enough to overcome the deficit.
