Play 1: Gang tackling gets defense off of the field
#Jaguars big 3rd & 2 stop on the Bronco's first drive was a team defensive effort. D.J. Hayden takes out the OL, Quincy Williams flys over and A.J. Bouye slips past the LT in space. pic.twitter.com/ucl9YWUZpG

Plays 2 & 3: Defense struggles with explosive plays
#Jaguars gave up two explosive plays on defense on Broncos' second drive. Linebackers struggled to fill vs. run on first play, and then four players (Williams/Jones/Herndon/Wilson) missed chances to stop Noah Fant before he scored. pic.twitter.com/1Y9Bdpo203

Play 4: DJ Chark makes highlight reel grab to set up a field goal
This is a bigger play if the #Broncos don't commit DPI on #Jaguars WR DJ Chark but, man, what a grab. His ball skills all season have been unreal. pic.twitter.com/e946Amk0db
