Broncos vs. Jaguars: Key Matchups to Watch

The Jacksonville Jaguars head to Mile High Stadium on Sunday to take on the high-flying Denver Broncos. Key matchups to watch include Josh Hines-Allen against Garett Bolles. The Broncos have benefited from one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, with Bolles not giving up a single pressure in their last game and earning a pass-blocking grade of 90.9.

The Jaguars' Hines-Allen has seven sacks in his last seven games and will be pivotal in trying to pressure Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. Another important matchup features Jakobi Meyers versus Patrick Surtain II.

Meyers has been outstanding since joining the Jaguars, with 355 yards and three touchdowns in six games and a catch rate of 71.1%. Surtain, regarded as one of the best corners in the NFL, has not allowed a touchdown this season, making this duel essential for both teams.

Lastly, RJ Harvey will face Foye Oluokun. With JK Dobbins injured, Harvey has stepped up with 140 yards and two touchdowns in the last two games. The Jaguars have struggled against the run despite their recent win against the Jets, and Oluokun, with over 100 tackles this season, will aim to contain Harvey to limit Denver’s offensive effectiveness.

These matchups could significantly influence the outcome of the game, as the Broncos strive for playoff positioning.
