The Denver Broncos got a win in Jacksonville to improve to 2-0 on the young 2021 season. Here are four awesome stats that defined the victory.
The Denver Broncos went to Jacksonville and came away with a victory to improve to 2-0 this season. It wasn’t that long ago, but the Broncos’ 2-0 start to open the 2018 season feels like a lifetime ago with how much has changed since then.
Getting off to a strong start was absolutely critical for the Denver Broncos in 2021, and they have done exactly that.
Of course, detractors are already out in full force talking about the fact that the Broncos’ two wins to open the 2021 season have come against the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars, two teams that were expected to be bad this year.
Who cares?
At the end of the season, if the Broncos are in the playoffs, no one is going to care that two of their wins on the way there were against the Giants and Jaguars.
But I digress.
This particular game against the Jaguars was a big one for the Broncos regardless of how good (or bad) Jacksonville is as a team, and the Broncos won. How did they do it? What were the key statistics?
I’m glad you asked.
Let’s take a look through this game with a fine-tooth comb and look at the victory-defining stats.
