Jaguars...24 Broncos...17
DENVER -- The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t need to play keep-away from Denver this time, just take-away.
Playing their best all-around game of the season, the Jaguars got superb performances from quarterback David Garrard and running back Maurice Jones-Drew, plus three take-aways by their defense, in a 24-17 win over the Broncos on a cold, misty day.
Garrard completed 25 of 34 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and Jones-Drew ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns in 22 carries.
The Jaguars (3-3) also won at Invesco Field last year, thanks to a franchise-record 18-play, 80-yard drive that chewed up 12 minutes and set the tone for a 23-14 victory in which they maintained possession for nearly 40 minutes. This season, they wasted no time in sending the Broncos (4-2) to their first home loss since last Oct. 29 against Green Bay.
