Jacksonville Jaguars 34, Denver Broncos 20

DENVER, Colo. – Trevor Lawrence stayed hot. Very hot.

So did the streaking and very good Jaguars – and as a result, they won a very big December game in very convincing fashion in the toughest of environments.

Lawrence threw 3 more touchdowns and ran for another, and the AFC South-leading Jaguars enhanced their playoff positioning yet again with a 34-20 victory over the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday afternoon.

“Great team win – just thankful that a small-market team like ours can come into a place like Mile High and get it done,” Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said, tongue planted in cheek, with Lawrence adding: “It’s a big game and just proud of the guys.”

“This team’s coming together,” Lawrence added. “I’m proud of the guys. We came ready to go.”

The Jaguars (11-4) maintained their 1-game lead in the AFC South over the Houston Texans (10-5) and moved to with a game of the Broncos (12-3) for the top seed in the AFC. The Texans beat the 2-13 Las Vegas Raiders, 23-21, in Houston Sunday.

“We just beat the best team,” Jaguars safety Andrew Wingard said. “Our offense is on a heater. The best part about us is we don’t care. This is not our Super Bowl. Our Super Bowl is the Super Bowl.”
