Broncos Run Defense Looks Vulnerable Before Jaguars Week 2 Clash

Sep 18, 2026

Broncos run defense flagged as a weak spot

Ahead of the Week 2 meeting between the Jaguars and Broncos, scouting intel from Mile High Report points to one clear vulnerability in Denver: the run defense. The takeaway is straightforward — the Broncos' front looks exploitable on the ground as Jacksonville rolls into town.

What it means for your survivor pick

A leaky run defense is exactly the kind of matchup detail that should slow you down before locking in a Denver survivor pick. If the Broncos can't hold up against the run, Jacksonville has a path to control the clock and keep this game closer than a favorite would like — and close games are where survivor entries get busted.

That cuts both ways. It doesn't automatically make the Jaguars a safe pick either; a single opponent's soft spot isn't a green light on its own. Treat this as one input, weigh it against the spread and your own pick history, and don't spend a strong team on a matchup with an obvious question mark.
