Despite throwing for 332 yards to go along with three touchdowns during the Jaguars Week 1 match-up against the Texans, Trevor Lawrence is probably more focused on avoiding having another game throwing multiple picks against the Broncos on Sunday. Especially considering this hard-nosed Denver team is coming in hot after a dominant performance last Sunday against the Giants.
With the Jaguars hoping for a better outcome and Urban Meyer still seeking his first win as an NFL head coach, there's a lot on riding this game for Jacksonville. With all this at stake and an exciting game ahead, let's now take a look at four bold predictions for the Jacksonville Jaguars Week 2 match-up against the Denver Broncos.
Jacksonville Jaguars: 4 bold predictions for Week 2
4. Trevor Lawrence will have a more efficient game against the Broncos
Even though he threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns to go along with that, he also threw three interceptions that proved to be very costly to the Jags in Week 1. Against the Broncos, Lawrence will look to be more efficient with his passes when moving the ball around. In an attempt to redeem last week's tough loss, Lawrence will be ready to prove himself as a rising star in the NFL.
Granted he's only a rookie and it was the first game of the 2021 NFL season, but considering how long of a playoff drought the Jags have had, they're hoping that a stellar performance from Lawrence will improve their chances of getting back into the thick of the AFC wild card race this season. With Trevor Lawrence ready to bounce back and lead the Broncos to a surprise win, lookout for him to light up the scoreboard and stat sheet once again.
3. Carlos Hyde and Lavisk Shenault Jr. will form a potent rushing attack for the Jags
After a quiet day against the Texans last weekend, the Jags may be looking to better utilize their running game. Especially with the talent they currently possess in the backfield. Between Carlos Hyde and Laviska Shenault Jr., they've got a great mix of rookie veteran talent that could prove to be highly beneficial to their rushing attack and give them an edge in their Week 2 match-up against the Broncos.
Between the two of them, they could definitely make things difficult for the Broncos defense and give Jacksonville a more versatile offensive game plan. Looking to move on from a quiet Week 1 showing, Carlos Hyde and Laviska Shenault Jr. could both be difference makers for the Jags on Sunday.
2. D.J. Chark and Marvin Jones will put up big numbers against the Broncos
Fresh off a highly productive game against the Texans, D.J. Chark and Marvin Jones are ready to take things up a notch and have a big showing against the Denver Broncos. With Lawrence's accuracy and deep arm threat and the speed and agility of Chark and Jones, this explosive receiving duo will definitely have no problem picking apart the Broncos secondary while scoring multiple touchdowns in the process.
If there's one thing Denver should be worried about, then it's the Jags booming receiving corps that will undoubtedly make things difficult for them all game long. So watch out for these two trouble makers to have another big game for Jacksonville in their Week 2 match-up against the Broncos.
1. The Broncos will beat the Jaguars in Week 2
In spite of all their potential and everything Jacksonville currently has going for them, Denver will prove to be a more complete team on both sides of the field and will overwhelm them all game long. Teddy Bridgewater will have another dominant performance and the Broncos defense will be able to lock down the Jags dynamic offensive unit.
Not to say it'll be an easy win for the Broncos, but in the end they will hail victorious and start off their season with back-to-back road wins and a 2-0 start in 2021. This match-up will definitely be a close one though, so watch out for this exciting showdown between two new and improved teams this Sunday afternoon.
