21 Sep
Summary
- Jacksonville squandered a 13-3 lead in the second half.

- Trevor Lawrence faced pressure on 35% of dropbacks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are now 1-1 on the season following a disheartening Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos. The team let a significant second-half lead slip away, highlighting critical issues that need addressing.
Jacksonville held a 13-3 advantage, but the momentum shifted dramatically. Late-game errors, including an interception by quarterback Trevor Lawrence and a missed field goal, proved costly. Defensively, the Jaguars struggled to prevent big plays, with Broncos' quarterback Bo Nix achieving 9.3 yards per pass attempt, enabling Denver's comeback.
Further compounding the Jaguars' offensive struggles was consistent pressure on Trevor Lawrence. He faced duress on 35% of his dropbacks, a significant increase from the previous week. While under pressure, Lawrence's efficiency dropped considerably, leading to an interception and limiting offensive success, ultimately contributing to the defeat.
