What they're saying

"
Jaylen Waddle and Jonah Coleman's led a big second-half comeback by the Denver Broncos, who snapped the Jacksonville Jaguars' nine-game regular-season winning streak with a 20-13 victory Sunday. After catching just one pass for 2 yards in his Denver debut, Waddle had eight catches for 138 yards and Coleman's 3-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter capped a 17-0 Broncos blitz after they'd fallen behind 13-3 early in the third quarter. After allowing a field goal to open the second half, the Broncos (1-1) responded with a field goal, a 7-yard touchdown toss from Bo Nix to Nate Adkins and Coleman's first career TD, which came with 7:21 remaining after starter J.K. Dobbins had left with a hamstring injury.
