Jaylen Waddle’s quiet Denver debut flips into a 138-yard day in a Broncos’ 20-13 comeback over Jags

The Denver Broncos staged a remarkable second-half comeback to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-13, ending the Jaguars’ nine-game regular-season winning streak. Jaylen Waddle, in his Denver debut, caught eight passes for 138 yards, while Jonah Coleman scored a crucial 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The Broncos, trailing 13-3 early in the third quarter, responded with a field goal and a 7-yard touchdown pass from Bo Nix to Nate Adkins. The Jaguars, who had previously dominated with a combined 177-point margin over their last nine games, struggled to maintain their lead. Trevor Lawrence led Jacksonville to a 13-3 advantage with Bhayshul Tuten’s touchdown and two field goals by Cam Little. However, Denver’s defense tightened, and the Broncos capitalized on missed opportunities by the Jaguars, including a missed 54-yard field goal by Little. The game also marked the return of Tim Tebow to Empower Field, celebrated as the Broncos’ “Legend of the Game.” QUESTION: How might the Broncos’ comeback victory influence their performance and confidence in upcoming games?
