The Broncos opened the regular season with a dud against the Chiefs, but they’re not making too much of one result as they prepare for Sunday’s home opener against the Jaguars.
Quarterback Bo Nix threw an interception and lost one of his three fumbles in the 31-10 loss to a divisional rival. He was sacked four times in the game and the Broncos only had 176 total yards of offense, which is the kind of performance that might have some wondering if the offense somehow lost its way on the way into the regular season.
On Thursday, Nix said that’s not the case in Denver and that the team still believes they’re built the right way for success.
“Overall, we’re not going to press the panic button and we’re not freaking out,” Nix said, via the team’s website. “We’re not starting from scratch or anything. We feel like we’re still in a good spot, we just didn’t play great by any means, and we’ve got to play better.”
The Jaguars are coming off a more impressive start, although a home win over the Browns is certainly a different degree of difficulty than a Monday night trip to Arrowhead Stadium. Jacksonville won in Denver last season as well, so the Broncos will have to be much sharper if they’re going to avoid a week of listening to stats about how few teams go from 0-2 to making it to the playoffs.
