3. What’s one weakness on the Broncos and do you think the Jaguars could exploit it?

"The biggest weakness on the Broncos is the offensive line, and I’d imagine the Jaguars have spent considerable time thinking of ways to exploit that. The Jags have some really athletic players up front defensively, so I’d imagine they are going to try and overpower the Broncos’ offensive line, especially whoever is playing right tackle (Donald Stephenson/Ty Sambrailo) and left guard Max Garcia."

My take:

The Jaguars haven’t had a consistent pass rush this year, but they are coming off a game against the Bills where they were borderline dominant along the line of scrimmage. Dante Fowler has been a spinning top (Inception reference) when it comes to rushing the passer, but Yannick Ngakoue has flashed and been a surprisingly effective edge rusher. Jackson and Sen’Derrick Marks along the interior have also played well, and new defensive coordinator Todd Wash has actually done a terrific job of dialing up blitzes and bringing extra rushers at opportune times. The Jaguars may actually force a turnover this week if they can exploit the Denver blockers.
