Denver Broncos come up short of projections, lose to Jacksonville JAGUARS in 144.3-140.0 battle

There's no way around it, Denver Broncos didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Jacksonville JAGUARS squeaked by for a 144.3-140.0 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Jacksonville JAGUARS led 134.3-99.4 heading into Monday night. Denver Broncos made them sweat behind Christian Kirk (22.6 points) and Dalton Schultz (8). Jacksonville JAGUARS were led by Derrick Henry (40.4 points) and Younghoe Koo (19). Jacksonville JAGUARS (2-4) will look to add to their success against Green Bay Packers, while Denver Broncos (2-4) match up against Baltimore Ravens in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Jacksonville JAGUARS
You know Jacksonville JAGUARS, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 160.64 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 144.3 we needed for this past week's win!
Denver Broncos
It's entirely possible that Denver Broncos might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only nine total targets in Week 6, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
