Jacksonville Jaguars 23, Denver Broncos 14

The Jaguars went on the road and took the fight to the Broncos in Denver yesterday.  David Garrard was very efficient running the offense as he hit 14 of 20 passes for 154 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 interceptions.  He also was elusive running with the football as he had 12 carries for 52 yards (4.3 ypc).  Old vet running back Fred Taylor was tough against the Broncos as he carried the ball 17 times for 84 yards (4.9 ypc).  Maurice Drew had another tough game as he carried the ball 15 times for 37 yards (2.5 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 18 yards.  TE Mercedes Lewis led the way in the passing game with 3 catches for 44 yards (14.7 avg).  WR Reggie Williams only caught 2 passes for 11 yards, but one of the receptions was a TD.  The Jaguars had possession of the football for 38:42 which really helped keep the defense rested and effective!  The Jags finished up with 186 yards

on 47 carries (4.0 ypc) and they completed 14 of 20 passes for 140 yards.

The Jags defense was outstanding.  They took the Broncos out of their gameplan by shutting down the running game.  The Broncos only rushed for 47 yards on 18 carries (2.6 ypc).  Safety Sammy Knight made the game sealing interception and he had 4 tackles to lead the way on the inspired defensive effort.  The Jags also allowed the Broncos to completed 16 of 23 passes for 218 yards.  This was a huge win for the Jags on the road as they are now 2-1 on the season.
