Jaguars focus on running game strategy ahead of Broncos matchup
Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to face the Denver Broncos at Empower Field on Sunday. Coming off a dominant 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, the Jaguars aim to secure a second win to start the season. A key strategy involves committing to the running game against what is expected to be a strong Denver defense, particularly to protect quarterback Trevor Lawrence from the pass rush. Denver's run defense showed vulnerability in its previous game, allowing 220 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. Against Denver, the Jaguars will need consistent performance from their running backs to successfully open up their passing game and control the pace of the match.
