Primed for their home opener, the Jaguars are set to take on the Denver Broncos after taking their talents on the road to Houston last week.
While the team wasn’t victorious in the first week of the season against the Texans, Jacksonville looks to rebound, and quarterback Trevor Lawrence has an opportunity to showcase his talents in front of the home crowd for his first home regular-season game.
Last week, Lawrence showed plenty of talents against the Texans. While he did throw three interceptions, the rookie QB threw for over 300 yards on the day and had three touchdowns to offset some of his poor throws.
Expect the young QB to step his game up this week against the Broncos.
The question today will be: Will Jacksonville be able to show much improvement today against the Broncos today? Can Jacksonville get to 1-1?
