Jacksonville Jaguars struggle to pressure quarterbacks in recent loss

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Denver Broncos 20-13 on September 22, 2026. The Jaguars failed to sack quarterback Bo Nix and only managed three quarterback hits, reviving concerns about their pass rush. Although they had an encouraging performance in their season opener, the inability to pressure Nix allowed the Broncos to erase a 10-point deficit. Coach Liam Coen noted that teams are adjusting to Jacksonville's pressure strategies, complicating their defensive game plan. The Jaguars face a challenging schedule ahead with several high-profile quarterbacks in the coming weeks.
