Jaguars vs. Broncos: Staff roundtable and game picks for Week 2

Today, we're previewing Week 2's matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos at Mile High.

Travis Holmes : I learned, in a small way, what type of offense they want to be, while still acknowledging who they are. Opening the game with four straight rushes and two play-action passes (out of three attempts in the opening drive) clearly drew a line in the sand on this staff's expectations for 2026. Their desire to be a run-the-ball, play-action squad, while still featuring an extremely deep receiving room, provides a lot of flexibility for Coen and his staff. They're aware that the passing game needs to better flow through the run and called the game accordingly, with 11 of Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez 's 21 combined carries coming in the first half. That clearly spells balance and a purposeful push for a run game not impacted by game script.

Gus Logue : I learned that Jacksonville will get contributions from its rookie class sooner than we all thought. TE Nate Boerkircher's blocking ability offers Liam Coen immediate personnel flexibility; LG Emmanuel Pregnon looks like a rare plug-and-play first-year lineman; and WR Josh Cameron already earned snaps in high-leverage spots like red zone, where he caught one of the best touchdowns of Trevor Lawrence 's career in Week 1. The Jaguars didn't make any splashy additions in the offseason, but clearly, that doesn't mean that they didn't get better.
