Welcome to a new idea I am trying to cook up to help analyze Jaguars games instead of just clogging up my X (formerly Twitter) feed with bits of information: Jaguars Day After.
Starting the morning following a Jaguars game and throughout the day, I will pass along statistical data and observations so keep checking this.
Here we go …

Third-lowest point total of Coen Era
The 13 points against Denver was the Jaguars’ third-lowest point total of coach Liam Coen’s tenure. In consecutive games last October, the Jaguars lost 20-12 to Seattle and 35-7 to the Los Angeles Rams.
During their nine-game regular season winning streak bridging the two seasons, the Jaguars had scored 35, 27, 25, 36, 48, 34, 23, 41 and 34 points.
The Jaguars had only three plays against Denver of longer than 18 yards: Catches of 32 yards by Parker Washington, 28 yards by Jakobi Meyers and 22 yards by Brian Thomas, Jr. By comparison, the Broncos had four plays of at least 27 yards.
Pass rush comes up empty
For only the third time since the start of 2025, the Jaguars' defense didn't record a sack.
According to my charting, the Jaguars rushed five or more players on 12 of 34 Bo Nix drop-backs, including 12 of his final 22 drop-backs. Against a five-man pressure, Nix was 5 of 7, he was 1 of 4 against a six-man pressure and his interception came on an eight-man rush.
I charted the Jaguars with eight disruptions: No saks, two knockdowns (both by LB Dennis Gardeck) and six pressures.
Pass protection recap
The Broncos rushed five or more players on 12 of Trevor Lawrence's 36 drop-backs. All were five-man rushes.
The Jaguars were booked with 14 allowed disruptions: Two sacks, five knockdowns and seven pressures.
I booked the sacks on RT Cole Van Lanen/LT Anton Harrison and LG Emmanuel Pregnon/C Robert Hainsey.
Success rate
Most teams use a metric of down-by-down success as 50% of the yards on first down, 50% of the yards on second down and 100% of the yards on third and fourth down.
Offense: 12 of 26 on first down, 8 of 17 on second down and 6 of 12 on third down for a total of 26 of 55.
Defense: The Broncos were 11 of 27 on first down, 11 of 19 on second down and 4 of 10 on third down (not including three Nix kneel-downs).
