Jacksonville returns to the field hoping for a better showing in Week 2 against Denver than it had in Week 1 in a 37-21 loss to the Houston Texans. The Jaguars’ defense struggled tremendously in that game, and quarterback Trevor Lawrence made too many mistakes, tossing three interceptions.
Week 2 presents a tougher matchup on paper, and the Jags will hope their play against Houston can be explained as first-game jitters. The Broncos beat New York last week behind the strong play of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who surgically dismantled the New York Giants’ defense.
He could do the same against a Jags secondary that didn’t cover Houston’s receivers particularly well. Jacksonville will hope to tighten up and avoid an 0-2 start.
Like in Week 1, the Jaguars play at 1 p.m. EST, and their game will be televised on CBS with the commentary duo of Spero Dedes and Jay Feely. Per 506sports, fans that live in the yellow zone will be able to watch the game on the local CBS affiliate.
Practically the entirety of the mountain region, as well as most of north Florida, will be able to view the game locally. That also extends into the southern part of Georgia and most of the eastern portion of South Carolina. It will also be broadcast in an area around Greenville, South Carolina that includes portions of extreme northeast Georgia and western North Carolina.
However, the game that most places in the country will receive at 1 p.m. on CBS will be the contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jacksonville will look to avoid an 0-2 start and get a notch in the win column when the Broncos come to town on Saturday.
