Jaguars’ Week 2 test in Denver shaped by run game and pressure threat
Big Cat Country’s preview points to Jacksonville’s evolving offensive identity, emerging rookies and opportunities against Denver’s pressured quarterback.
The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Denver Broncos at Mile High in Week 2 after opening the season with a win, according to a preview by Jaguars-focused publication Big Cat Country.
Big Cat Country staff said Jacksonville’s Week 1 performance suggested a deliberate run-heavy, play-action approach. The preview pointed to the team opening with four straight rushing attempts and two play-action passes, while continuing to rely on a deep receiving group.
The publication also identified rookies Nate Boerkircher, Emmanuel Pregnon and Josh Cameron as early contributors. Boerkircher was highlighted for his blocking, Pregnon for his readiness on the offensive line and Cameron for earning opportunities in high-leverage situations.
Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville’s receivers were assessed by Big Cat Country staff as showing a strong connection in the second year of the offence. The preview said the passing attack appeared more polished, while linking its development to the team’s broader balance between the run and pass.
Defensively, Big Cat Country identified Dennis Gardeck and Branson Combs as players who could have a greater impact than they did in Jacksonville’s previous win at Denver in December 2025. The preview cited their pressure contributions in Week 1 and said they could be relevant against the Broncos.
The article also cited Denver quarterback Bo Nix being pressured on 45.5 per cent of his dropbacks against Kansas City in Week 1. The supplied preview ends mid-sentence and does not provide a final result or complete account of the staff’s game predictions.
