The Predominantly Orange staff try to predict every matchup in the NFL for week four, including the Denver Broncos hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On a three-game losing streak, the Denver Broncos are looking to get their first victory of the 2019 NFL season.
The Broncos fell to the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin this past Sunday by a score of 27-16. Once again, the pass rush was nonexistent. Teams seem to be figuring out that they have to get rid of the ball faster to cancel out the Denver Broncos pass rush.
That’s what Aaron Rodgers was able to do.
The Packers were not great against the Broncos run game. Denver’s running backs rushed 38 times for a total of 149 yards on the ground.
The Broncos have had a history of being unable to stop opposing tight ends but against the Packers, they held Marcedes Lewis to just one catch for 19 yards.
Now, they head to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars and their rookie quarterback, Gardner Minshew. Minshew completed 20/30 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans last week. His touchdown tosses went to rookie DJ Chark and James O’Shaughnessy, who, yes, is a tight end.
That’s just a little glimpse of what the Denver Broncos could be up against when the Jaguars head to the Mile High City.
Now, here are our picks for that game, as well as our weekly NFL Pick ‘Em.
