Late interception, missed field goal, punt spell doom for Jaguars
The Jaguars have prided themsleves on finishing off opponents, which made their second-half collapse against Denver all the more surprising.
In a baffling loss to the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium, the Jacksonville Jaguars fell short of their impressive winning streak, falling 20-13. The Jaguars led 13-3 with nine minutes remaining in the third quarter, but ultimately surrendered their momentum with three critical errors. Their offense couldn't capitalize on their leads, committing an interception, missing a field goal, and allowing a punt to seal their fate.
The defense, which had a stellar goal-line stand in the second quarter, allowed Denver to score field goal, touchdown, and touchdown, and ran out the clock in the final minutes. Jaguars players admitted to mental errors and sloppy play, which prevented them from finishing strong and maintained the momentum. The loss highlights the need for improvement to overcome their upcoming challenges, including a crucial matchup against the Texans.
