[Schefter] With Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew injuring their knees in back-to-back weeks, the Chiefs are signing QB Shane Buechele off the Bills’ practice squad, per source. twitter.com/AdamSchefter...

Broncos have played Patrick Mahomes, Jordan Love, and Trevor Lawrence during this stretch... But they also got Patrick Surtain II back for it. Truly bewildering decline.

Denver continually shifting or flipping the back from their initial alignment to run at the 1T. Couple times this drive already

Liam Coen is cooking b/w the 20s and the Jags passing game is just winning iso ball in the red zone. Some of these drives are still going to sink because the front matchup but man this is impressive from the Jags

my Jaguars offense and Trevor Lawrence takes after week 3. There was initial sloppiness in this offense, but there was also sound process and great designs happening from Liam Coen and Lawrence, even if the results weren't always perfect. The results are now catching up.

I loved this play design in the moment for the Jags, love it even more on the all-22. Always get targets vertical out the backfield, love slipping Strange out through the A-gap

Jakobi Meyers makes a heads up play on this crack toss to ETN. He's supposed to block 29, but with the blitz he has to readjust, and ends up helping Parker Washington with Cooper and getting a body on Hufanga. Anton Harrison 🥞🥞🥞

After the first couple of drives, Trevor Lawrence was doing a great job attacking the blitzes Denver would send. Jags were one step ahead whenever they sent pressure, and Lawrence was throwing four seamers all game. Shoutout LeQuint Allen

On the big Parker Washington catch and run, Denver is trying to spin into an inverted Cover 2. I love how quickly Lawrence diagnoses this and gets this ball out. The Jags were truly one step ahead in their passing game all day, and their QB is playing with extreme confidence

It would completely floor me if the Broncos lose to the Chiefs on Christmas Odds are this is like the Raiders game. What we should be looking for is efforts to improve the down to down consistency on the ground. Offense has become overly reliant on Bo Nix. That and health luck 🙏

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
The Broncos are 12-3 with a 2nd year QB & their biggest cap hit ($32 M) a backup QB for the Giants. Sean Payton has turned this team into a true contender, and Bo Nix is showing promising signs of development. They have the best odds at representing the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
Following yesterday's loss to the Jaguars the Broncos have a 55% chance at the top spot in the AFC. They have a 79.9% chance at winning the AFC West. They're in the wild card in 20.1% of simulations. They still have the best odds at the Super Bowl of any AFC team.

Malcolm Roach displayed a really nice club over against Patrick Mekari on his 3rd down sack in the 2nd quarter. Trevor Lawrence was chasing the sticks downfield and couldn't escape the Broncos behemoth.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
Broncos are running Cover 1 here with Singleton as the rat. Watch how Dre Greenlaw steps up against the run action, and then pivots to stick on Brenton Strange as he sneaks out and into his route.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
Really liked Sean Payton's design on the R.J. Harvey touchdown against the Jaguars. The Broncos line leaves 90 unblocked for Bo & the receivers hold the deep safety long enough to give him a rough downhill angle. I was really impressed by the contact balance and recovery by R.J. Harvey.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
1st: The Broncos play 2nd: The Broncos routes - vertical, out, and a swing. 3rd: obvious contact on Bryant impacts his route, note Nix's eyes. 4th: Bryant breaks free, though Jaguars are definitely sitting on the sail and may be trying to bait Nix.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
25 of the 39 yards Brenton Strange gained against the Broncos came on 1 play. Here he motions into the backfield, Trevor Lawrence fakes the handoff and Dre Greenlaw respects the run as he's supposed to. Turns out Liam Coen is a good play caller. Who'da thunk it. 🤷

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
The 3rd down before Wil Lutz missed is an example of where Bo could become more aggressive. Payton gives him a half field read, & when Bryant gets slowed up by contact Nix dumps it down to Mims before pressure gets home. 13 may have broken open Broncos wanted at least 3 though

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 22/12/2025
The Broncos first third down went to Adam Trautman, who was stopped short of the first. This play is a good microcosm of how the Jaguars attacked Bo Nix all day, and the challenge facing Sean Payton and the offense without a lot of easy buttons vs. good zone teams.

R.J. Harvey had 7 carries for 50 yards with a long of 38. So he had 6 carries for 12 yards. Jaleel McLaughlin had 5 carries for 37 yards with a long of 16. He also had a carry for 9 on the first drive. His 3 other carries went for 12 yards. Jags made Bo Nix carry the Broncos O

Smart coordinators are going zone heavy because Bo Nix can get mixed up reading it out. But when Payton has baited them into man, the Broncos are ready to punish them. Saw it last week and on that last drive.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 21/12/2025
There is a very short list of QBs playing better than Trevor Lawrence since week 11. Broncos defense is no joke, but not surprising that this game with the Jaguars will be a battle.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 21/12/2025
Wil Lutz now has as many misses as Cam Little, who also hit a 68 yarder and gives the Jaguars a reliable 3 point threat at 40-50 yards.

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 21/12/2025
Worth noting that if the Broncos win today and beat the Chiefs QB3 on Christmas they'll clinch the AFC West and the AFCs top seed. Take care of business and they'll have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Worth noting: Ben Powers will count for $18,425,000 against the Broncos cap in 2026 and has a roster bonus due March 17th. Sean Payton saw life with Alex Palczewski at left guard. Cutting Power before June 1st creates $8.65 M in cap room, designating him a post June 1? $13 M

On that opening Cowboys drive, Javonte Williams just crossed 1,250 total yards on the season, thus earning him another $250,000 incentive. He earned the same amount for crossing 12 TDs last week.

I don't know if this is just what happens as you get older or if *waves hand in direction of well, everything* is to blame, but I'm finding myself more & more disillusioned with the distractions from the fact that capitalism is failing almost everyone and we all just seem to accept it as inevitable.

Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph says that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is playing "equal" to Packers QB Jordan Love. "They're both super talented. They're both really well-coached. That's what I instantly see with both offenses," Joseph said.

ideal rep of Duo from the Packers on the Josh Jacobs TD. Nose gets moved on the double, LB buries himself. watch Romeo Doubs (#87) communicating to Bo Melton on who they're blocking at the snap of the ball.
