What to Know

Denver will be playing at home against Jacksonville at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday. The contest is expected to be a close one, with Denver going off at just a 2.5-point favorite.

Last week, the Broncos came up short against Green Bay last week, falling 27-16. QB Joe Flacco had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw one interception and fumbled the ball once.

As for Jacksonville, they had a rough outing against Houston two weeks ago, but a little bit of home cooking seems to have fixed things right up. Jacksonville was able to grind out a solid win over Tennessee, winning 20-7. For Jacksonville, this is just revenge for the 30-9 defeat they suffered against Tennessee the last time they faced one another Dec. 6 of last year.

Jacksonville's victory lifted them to 1-2 while Denver's loss dropped them down to 0-3. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Broncos enter the game with only 2 passing touchdowns allowed, good for third best in the NFL. As for the Jaguars, they rank first in the league when it comes to sacks, with 13 on the season. We'll find out if either of these strengths ends up making the difference in the matchup.
