I'll have more on the game later. For now, take a look at the stats and decompress amongst yourselves.A few thoughts to ponder.
- I thought Special Teams would be a huge factor, and they were. The Jags with 163 return yards, the Broncos 66.
- The Jags three TD drives were 60 yards, 53 yards, and 83 yards - of course, 30 yards in penalties on Ryan McBean actually made it 53 yards. Their field goal drive started at their own 48 yard-line.
- In other words, the Broncos coverage teams gave the Jags a short field 3 different times, while McBean cut the field in half on their last Touchdown.
More to come....
